Re: Weird things you judge people for?

I know what it's like to experience micro aggressions. Hell, I got made fun of as a dirty Arab with mustache a ton as a kid (I'm a girl) all the time. Going to a restaurant often meant the waiters thought we were tourists because my parents have accents.

But you know what? It's still not that big of a deal. And a lot of that stress IS due to the result of people putting too much stock in these annoying but ultimately useless gestures.

At the end of the day, though, it can't at all compare to having to spend years separated from your family or be threatened with violence. Like at all. And when people go on and on about all the racism and oppression they've faced and the worst they've experienced is someone wanting to touch their hair or saying "ching chong ding dong" or whatever racist shit it is, I just can't take it seriously. No, it's not fun. But it gets blown HUGELY out of proportion.

Sure, call them out. But when you act like life is SO HARD because of petty bullshit like that, I just do not give a fuck.

Okay, just because some people misuse a term on the internet for pity points does not mean that there's not a real, serious issue attached. You should be well aware of that if you're claiming to have experienced it.

Not everyone is well equipped to deal with stress or has the luxury of avoiding it. Especially if it's something that's happening in the home environment as well as other places.

And being threatened with violence once is actually exquisitely comparable to a constant low level of stress for a long period of time. You can observe just about the same levels of lasting physiological effects from one as you can from the other.

Yeah and guess what?

I still do not give a fuck.

I really, really don't.

I still think they sound like they're complaining thin-skinned whiners.

And you can tell me how it's an important real world issue but you know, even if that's true in all cases (and it's definitely not) that's not going to make me give more of a fuck or stop judging the complainers.

Want to complain? Go right ahead. You don't need my permission or approval. Just don't ask me to care. Because I simply don't.

That's fine, you don't have to. I just hope that when the time comes when you're searching for compassion for your own issues (and you will eventually have to) you remember this.

Oh believe me, I'm well aware that my opinion isn't endearing. But I also think it's incredibly naive to think that people will do anything more than pay lip service to your struggles. You have to figure that shit out on your own.
