What I don't like is how you assume that they had possessions, education, and a family structure.
I inferred that your ancestors showed up with family because you mentioned multiple ancestors fleeing Russia. I'm guessing they didn't flee Russia naked either, right? (please compare to kidnapped Africans). I'm also guessing they had education because if they didn't, they would have gone into the 'hard-labor' line of work and you would have used that as another example of how they 'resisted adversity', right?
Please tell me if I'm hitting within the ballpark here.
How do you know that anything is being handed to me? Is it because I'm white? That's pretty tribal
You literally just gave us an outline of your ethnic and religious ancestry. You
were handed stuff, via a long family line that was richer and more successful because of the characteristics they arrived with here.
How do you assume by dads background and that they were privileged because they were white? Just like you don't like when people assume bad things about a certain group, don't assume that all whites are privileged and have everything.
At this point, I'm kind of just assuming that you're middle to upper-class since you wouldn't be bragging about your ancestors accomplishments otherwise.
