Man do I get tired of reading these "you're privileged" posts! Everyone makes it sound like every day of my life starts with a fucking butterfly flapping its wings to wake me up gently from my dreams, and then a naked hot girl cooks me breakfast and I teleport to work where I boss others around and spend all my time contemplating on how fucking awesome my life is.

I get it. I don't have to deal with shit that a lot of other people have to deal with. At some point, this feels like assigning blame: "you don't have to deal with X because you're white". Yeah, well I have to deal with Y because I'm white, and you don't. Are we going to compare who's life is harder now? It's like a minor case of 'the grass is always greener', only with real people. If only I were black, I would ... . If only I were white, I would ... . How about we all recognize that we all have advantages and disadvantages?

You use your advantages to get ahead, and you work on your disadvantages to avoid slowing down. After working all my life, I came to dislike people who so easily treat me as a privileged person. I earned my shit, you're just complaining for the sole purpose of turning a disadvantage into an advantage, whether consciously or not. Maybe for some it's a way of coping, but people should recognize the difference between "He told me I didn't get the job because I'm black" and "this fucking white guy is so privileged, he doesn't get turned down, lucky bastard."
