“Whiteness and class privilege not only expect to be able to oppress people at will, they seem to expect the marginalized to embrace this exploitation as natural. Meritocracy is dangled before us to suggest that if we all had the same work ethic as Paltrow, we too could be living in luxury, but in truth no matter how hard we work, because the system is designed specifically to oppress certain bodies and uplift others, there will always be an underclass, one largely made up of People Of Color. No matter how deluded Paltrow continues to be, those of us who live in the real world see the nonsense of her protestations from a mile away.”
