Are You Aware of Your Right Privilege?
It’s hard being left-handed in a society that caters to righties
It all started pretty innocently. I was playing around on TikTok (don’t judge me) and someone asked, “What is something you’ll get a lot of hate for if you say it out loud?”
My answer?
“Right-handedness is one of the worst kinds of supremacy out there.”
The response was overwhelming. As I write this, the video has been seen 115,000 times and retweeted 1,500 times, has roughly 200 direct comments, and has been liked more than 2,500 times.
I clearly touched a nerve.
“Right supremacy” is a phrase I’ve used half-jokingly for some time. Between it sounding close enough to White supremacy to catch the ear and its inherent ring of truth, I was surprised someone hadn’t coined the term a long time ago. Maybe they did, and I’m late for the party. I didn’t know just how much the term would resonate.
