Why is 'race' relevant here? What the fuck is wrong with Americans and how did they become so astonishingly self flagellating.

That said... this sounds like one of those fantasy scenarios where "then everyone clapped".

Just on the insecure posture of this tweet, I'm prepared to bet cold hard cash that he asked her for clarity or something with a informational challenge "but does x not come from y?" Or whatever and she manufactured his reasoning and the rest to feel good. She doesn't seem to know what et al means either.

While I perfectly agree with your position on that the "privilege" talk has become a weapon in and of itself, and that a lot of bullshit stories come out of it, I'd love it if you could change the tone of conversation.

Americans are different, and they may have cultural reasons to behaving this way. That's not to say they're right - but seeding anger this way is not gonna magically change their minds.

I'm glad we have a common ground here

Hope it didn't turn out mean on my part - I just want to keep this place nice :)
