------------------------------------------------ What is Fitzgerald trying to show us about the narrator by the fact that he admits this statement is "snobbish"?

"A sense of the fundamental decencies is parceled out unequally at birth."

— The Great Gatsby

Answer :

Fitzgerald is trying to show the truth in this statement, that some people just have a better grasp on what is decent and good, while pointing out that maybe the narrator isn't as good as he thinks he is. At the start of the book he says that he reserves all judgment, then offers a statement like this. Fitzgerald is showing that we are not always as good or just or decent as we might think.
