I wouldn't do this.

Look, you might as well at least try to understand the course content. Writing a paper like that would mean you aren't really considering the arguments presented to you in class.

Aristotle said, "The mark of an intelligent mind is being able to examine an idea without embracing it." You can't do this if you start out assuming that your experience is analogous to a person who is systematically discriminated against.

Writing on scholarships or the underrepresented of men in nursing is basically saying, "Yeah, I know you've spent 8 hours a week trying to teach me about the way society is set up to give default low difficulty setting to certain people, but I don't get it. At all. Literally haven't learned anything."

I teach at a university. I would be seriously impressed by a person who wrote a paper saying, "My race and gender has affected me by depriving me of the ability to see how I fit into the larger picture. It's hard for me to understand what it would be like to be systemically discriminated against. I can point to a few cases where it seems to me like I'm subject to unfair discrimination, but I had trouble doing so. And, this can't be the same as the experience of a person who has to try really hard to find cases where they aren't discriminated against. It's as though our experiences are inverted, and this makes understanding and communication difficult.

So, here's my best attempt to say how this system affected me. It assigned me an identity: "The willfully ignorant oppressor". I hate that because I don't want to be ignorant to the suffering of others, and I don't want to oppress anyone. But this system is so fucked up that I'm almost forced into this role, whether I like it or not. For example, its very likely that I'm given more than my fair share of [insert example here], and that means someone else was given less than their fair share. But, it's not like I was asked whether I wanted this advantage. If I had been given a choice: 'you can have a fair share or you can take harm someone by taking some of their share,' I would have done the right thing.

But no-one gives me that choice. So I have to always wonder, 'Do I deserve this?' "
