When people say “Yeah WELL I’VE EXPERIENCED HARDSHIPS! WHITE PEOPLE CAN BE HOMELESS AND BE ABUSED BY PARENTS AND KICKED OUT AND MENTAL ILLNESS”
We’re not saying you can’t???…. We’re saying that (systematically) you won’t experience those things because you’re heterosexual, white, and cisgender. Not saying you can’t experience those things but you won’t experience those things because oppression, privilege, and power structures don’t work like that.
