Either booni-for-equality is a troll or they've forgotten their are other countries outside of America.
It seems to be a widespread thing among sjws that rudeness and verbal abuse are things you're obligated to take without comment if it's coming from the 'less privileged'.
Also, this comment from Reddit (pretty much the only one in the thread I liked):
Become completely divorced from the concept of systematic oppression.
Uhhh... isn't that the idea? No-one should WANT to be treated like shit by other people! It's an unfortunate failing of humanity, not a god damn identity you should be proud of :(
US society seems to have this weird obsession with suffering; the more you suffer or the harder you have it, the better you are as a person, the more righteous you are as a person, and the more morally superior you are as a person. Suffering and hardship are things to be admired, rather than things you're supposed to overcome and move on from. If you haven't suffered, you're character is questioned, and if you don't think you
should suffer, it's some kind of moral failing on your part.
I'm reminded of an article I read several years ago about an English teacher who became concerned when her students started talking about how guilty and inadequate they felt for
not having experienced hardship like the authors of the nonfiction books they were reading. It's like it's getting to the point where you should
want true hardship to occur in your life, rather than thanking your lucky stars that you've had it pretty good. It's romanticized into something that happens to great, inspirational people, and that you can't be great or inspirational unless you've experienced it too. It's the same thing that causes people to think that living in a country where you have to work three jobs just to get by is something to be admired, and that trying to change it so you
don't have to have it so hard means you're just a lazy, entitled leech.
