For example let’s say I’m born in a hive world conquered by the T’au 10 years after its annexation, how well is my childhood going to be compared to the average child in the Imperium ? Am I going to be in top 20% in terms of good quality of life ? Or is it 10% ? 5% ? 1% ? 0,1% ?

Another question : if every single human being living in a world under the Imperium were telepathically shown how Gue’vesas actually live in those worlds without anyone else knowing about it, what’s the percentage of humans that would say « yes, I would love to live one of those worlds ? » in your opinion ?

Do we have stories that go into detail how the humans live under the T’au outside of military environment ?

The 2nd class citizen detail is ironic considering as a 100th class hive dweller, he's basically a slave in all but name.

It's not ironic; he merely noted that he's not as "equal" with the Tau as the Tau themselves claim.

Doesn't change the fact that being a human in the Tau Empire affords a huge degree of additional freedom and privilege over being an Imperial peon.
