yeaaaaah. because you aren't poor or idk with other serious problems, you cannot complain about stuff? pffffffft.

the quoted text in this article (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/11/whats-wrong-with-firstworldproblems/248829/) expresses it far better than i ever could.

Can you imagine if someone had the cojones to actually to pull that sort of "you can't complain because you are white and rich" stuff on someone in real life?

Like going up to Steve Jobs just before he died painfully from cancer and say, "You have no right to complain about anything. You are a rich, white American male. People have it worse off than you."

I wonder what the reaction from the public would be.

I remember seeing an argument in a thread on F!S a while back concerning a secret about anxiety disorders, and some guy was trying to say that unless you are living in a third world country, you are not allowed to complain about ANYTHING, because people in third world countries will ALWAYS have it worse.

As if (like another comment upthread pointed out) intersectionality doesn't exist. You can be white and also be persecuted for your gender, your sexuality, your religion, your physical appearance, your mental status. PoC being oppressed doesn't mean that if you're white you are automatically NOT oppressed in other ways.
