Have you taken any history courses? Do you realize how many countries are still out there where a woman cannot vote and it is actually illegal to be gay? Hell, there are countries out there that allow slavery. I think the gays and minorities are doing pretty damned good over here, but all I hear is bitch bitch bitch@SW-User

So...what you're saying is that because they have it worse in other places, you think they have it good enough here.
Because their problems are not your problems, you don't see them as a big deal.
Congratulations, you've just taken your first steps into understanding what privilege means.

You have no idea what problems I have. The assumption that I have things better in ANY measurable way because I’m a straight white guy is really short-sighted@Pikachu
