nobody besides SJWs is trying to tell you that everything about your life is great, though. that's not what privilege means, it's the SJW definition of it. "white privilege" doesn't mean "everything about your life is perfect because you're white". it just means "you don't face racism every day for being white".

(once again this only applies to white-majority countries though. other countries have different dynamics.)

You don't have to keep inserting that every time you talk just to remind everybody. Once is sufficient. If people don't read the whole branch of the thread they aren't worth clarifying to anyway.

There is also admittedly a truth that a lot of people don't care about things that don't directly affect them. Which is where the proper definition of privilege certainly applies: What's foreign to folks doesn't always get noticed by them. Which means people can be dismissive or even hostile when these subjects are introduced. I think that's where discretion comes in: misapplied or mistimed discussions can have an overall negative effect in what you are trying to convey.

This is not the "tone" argument. This is the "know your audience" one.

is the entire comment directed at my statement about white-majority countries, or is part of it about something else? sorry, i'm a little confused and i don't want to cause a misunderstanding by replying to something i don't fully understand.

however, for the part about that statement: it probably wasn't necessary the second time, you're right. i wasn't planning to put it again after that. but as someone who's lived in non-white-majority countries, it does annoy me a lot when people act like those are the only type of societies that exist and outright dismiss any alternative perspectives.

i just wanted to add a clarifier instead of ignoring a huge percentage of the world. but now that i reread it, you're right, the second time i added it did come off as pretty patronising and i'm sorry for that.

Don't beat yourself up over it. You seem like the type that does such things to avoid causing offense.

I'd put forth that while you certainly don't have to become something like, well, me... you don't have to bend over backwards and be ultra cautious either. As you realize, that can look bad itself. But more individually, you can end up stressing over what you say so much you forget to, you know, have fun in places like this.
