4 is just another version of the anti-PC whine. It'd tedious, and almost always precedes or accompanies the recitation of some toxic piece of convention.
2 and 3 seem to contradict each other. One inherits social capital through exposure to it growing up - so why can't you say that "someone/thing else" is responsible to some degree for one's actions? Sure there are individual exceptions, but the central tendency is that people tend to stay near the class they were born into.
