Excuse me while I worship you. Yeah, it would make the questions painful, but it sure would help to narrow down whether the person posting is privileged (on some general level) within their culture of residence. The one thing is that I'd have to specify "because of the color of your skin", otherwise I'd be answering "yes" to the first three due to being a woman, while someone who's gay would definitely answer yes to the last because of govt-policy/homophobia -- I'd expect at least for some, there'd be a kneejerk "totally yes!" just from the Would you expect difficulties if forming a romantic relationship with someone part and the kneejerk "yes!" causing the person to figure, "oh, I don't need to read the rest" (on unconscious level) and thus missing that the pivot is cultural, not gender/sex based.
But still. Yeah, I guess it'll have to be questions like that, to triangulate at whether the person is racially privileged on a local/national level. Thank you!
