There is a known phenomena among the wealthy where they vastly over rate their classes accomplishments relative to others. So rich kid paints a picture and it should be in a gallery. Poor kid wins an art scholarship and it's due to affirmative action.
True, and they donât even understand how vital that art scholarship is. There was a recently noted phenomenon where all the big breakout British actors of the last two decades were pretty much all from wealth or from an acting dynasty (T Hidds and Benny C, not Benny W), because for the working and lower-middle class the cost of trying to get into the arts and failing is too damn high - whatâre you going to live off for years while you try to get a role? The 80s and 90s seem like a golden age for non-silver-spoon actors by comparison, because of âaffirmative actionâ.
