Something you get for being part of a minority that self-describes as discriminated. When applying for something (to a university, for a scholarship, for a job, for a grant, etc.), after your skill and worth have been considered out of 20, the system of privilege pointing goes something like this:
If black +1
If half-Asian +0.5
If muslim +2
If female +1
If native, aboriginal, etc. +1
If white male (except if muscular, physically attractive, etc.) -2
If gay +1
If transgender +4
Only people that score at least 5/10 on a physical attractiveness scale are entitled to privilege points. (Ironically, this rules out people with coloured hair).
Hence, a can get a perfect 20/20 application with a raw score of 12.
