This isn't really about race... It's more about class. Of course someone from a wealthy family will have a better shot at life than someone from a poor family. Simple as that.

If the ones in the back weren't skilled enough to make it then they don't deserve to

I would have just pulled my desk up to the front of the room, next to the bin. He said "You have to be in your chair." He didn't say where the chair had to be.

I thought it was going to be about the students in the back lifting up their chair and moving it closer, showing that with hard work and determination you can move through the social classes.

It's not about how close you are to the bin, it's how good your aim is.

All that wasted paper over an analogy? Well, that's privilege for you.

Did not say you could move your desk to the front! I'm getting into the motherfucking upper class!

Good thing buzz feed didn’t try this with my class because no one would want to be in the front they will all want to be in the back to see who has a better throw.

No lie we did this in my class. I was sat at the back row and I threw the paper and it hit the wall and fell into the bin while people in the front row missed. Guess I'm privileged by having good aim?

Ohhhh, im sorry, are you upset you live in a capitalist country? Too bad, you won't acomplish anything by whining, instead you should work to acomplish what you want.

I wonder how many people from the middle/back rows spent so much time complaining about the fairness that they forgot to throw their paper.

I actually had a teacher who did this lesson with our class.  I didn't complain, and I was in the back.  When my teacher said to start throwing the paper balls I began to move my desk from the back of the row to the front.  This made my teacher angry and started to say I was cheating, while I was bringing my desk even closer to the front so I was sure that I would make the shot.  My teacher looked at me angrily saying that I wasn't following the rules.  I told her, "I threw the paper ball into the basket from my seat, you said nothing about me actually moving my seat."  She then turned to the class and began discussing privilege and I realized what she was trying to portray and how the people in the back complained more than people in the front, she then glared at me and told me to move my desk back.  Before I moved, I asked her, "so, what does this lesson say about me then?  I was in the back, and while people in my row complained that it was unfair, I was figuring out a way to make my odds better by working hard and moving my way up.  Could hard work and dedication mitigate privilege to the point where I have better odds of being successful than even the most privileged of people, as made example by what I just did?"  It was an honest question, hoping that she'd say something similar to 'yes, but the fact you had to do more work than the others were unfair' or something like that, but instead she told me to put my desk back and gave me detention.  Apparently she didn't have an answer.

"Throw your wadded up paper into the bin while sitting in your seat" My instant reaction, just move your seat closer to the bin xD

We did this game in class, I am very antisocial so I always sit in the corner of the very back row. The bin was in the middle front of the room exactly like in the video. People in the second row were complaining and laughing thinking that I couldn't do it because I was a the very back (4th row). I actually shot the paper ball right into the bin. Science!

Plot twist: The students in the back of the room can work their way to the front by physically standing up and placing it in the garbage can. Kind of like, you know, persistence, creativity, and dedication? All traits that ultimately earn people success.
