The funniest fact about intersectionality is that the initial thought experiment doesn't even work in the real world.

In the USA there is no race gap in earnings between black women and white women. There is a race gap between black men and white men, however. So the idea you can add up the various points of oppression you might have to come up with a total of your oppression just doesn't work at all.
