    White academics often use first-gen identity as a way to elevate their marginalization, to equate it to what our BIPOC colleagues have experienced and faced. Guess what? As a white first-gen woman who grew up on welfare, I can tell you it's not the same.

        There are real things to talk about with first-gen identity and I do think that it's an important category and something we should talk about. It's OK to be proud of your first-gen status. First-gen students have to overcome a lot just to exist in and navigate academic spaces.

        But intersectionality matters. I was first-gen so I myself often had doubts, but few other people questioned if I belonged in those academic spaces. We don't have to argue with others for our right to belong ON TOP OF having to deal with our own insecurities. That's privilege.

        There are better things that could be said about the importance of intersectionality, adding in things like gender, sexuality, & disability, among other things. But if you're white & first-gen & you're ignoring the privileges you got from being white, well, you're doing it wrong.

        Replying to @MixedClassicist

        I did a Google Ngram search for "first gen" & there's a huge uptick in 2007, even more if you hyphenate, but it goes down with the full "first generation," so I wonder if there's something to that correlation of the abbreviation's popularity & its connection to uni attendance?

        This is very true. Because of my disabilities and growing up poor I've had issues in academic spaces on so many occasions but never have I had a hurdle because of my whiteness. It was always "welcome until percieved as other" and not "percieved as other until I earned a welcome"

        Yeah, this is exactly it! Great articulation, with the "welcome until perceived as other" vs. "perceived as other until I earned a welcome", thanks!

        As someone living abroad, I find rather astonishing wanting to elevate your marginalization and how degrees of marginalization are established/claimed in the US. Stratification is real but it is odd how it is played through recognition of "one's place in the hierarchy of grief"
