  • Should be called “White Privilege 101”

    An obnoxious loser goes through his youth stealing and cheating others. He goes through a cliched trajectory of drugs, sex, and ruined friendships while conning people out of their savings. He is bailed out bc his also criminal grandfather leaves him an inheritance. He has no remorse and gets off incredibly easily with everyone making excuses for him. The narrator clearly adores the guy. The whole thing is gross.
