YES! Amen to Jia, for straight-up slamming this nail on the head. Writing this good -- a seemingly effortless (and fun-to-read!) lifting of the collective fog on race/wealth/inequality/privilege/etc/etc/etc -- is almost inherently a brag: 'Look what I can do with just a few hundred words.'

"New York City is flooded with young people who consciously or unconsciously obscure the degree to which their parents have helped them, especially during their student years."

That's an explosive sentence and I think that what makes it so strong is that you can remove "young" and "especially during their student years" and it works even better.

The problem with this problem is that it's really not at all a women's problem - but we're all stuck talking about it in that context.
