It's another story, but nowadays others demand much more from me because I'm white. You see, the <white privilege> BS. I have a friend who's been flipping burgers and he's been twice as fast as the <unprivileged> guys and he's never received a raise. They all think it's normal that he is twice as fast and if he slows down they threaten to fire him. I'm not going to follow his steps so I try my luck as an online writer. I don't expect 50K but the idea of working towards my reputation is tempting. Work hard, reap the rewards sooner than later. In theory, at least.
