If group A is harmed more than group B, why do we have to pretend that group B is not harmed? Why are people in group B not allowed to complain? Why does our conception of reality have to be so simplistic?

Totally agree! But things don't have to be equivalent to both be bad. Like, imagine you work in an ER. You have to triage. You treat a gunshot wound before you treat a sprained ankle. But you don't tell the person with the sprained ankle that their injury isn't real. Right?

So I'd agree that, all else equal, prejudice against a member of an advantaged group is not as bad as prejudice against a member of a disadvantaged group. But it seems unnecessary to go further and say that it's not prejudice, or that the target of it isn't allowed to complain.

No its the fact that we live in world where your sprained ankle takes such outrageous precedence over the gunshot, that we pretend the gunshot doesnt exist, that to the point that bringing up ankle right now makes THE DIRECT COMPARISON when trying to talk about a bigger issue.

I would agree that if someone is talking about the gunshot, you shouldn't bring up the sprained ankle. But I don't agree that you're just not allowed to talk about the sprained ankle. (Sorry if analogy is getting a bit stretched.)

I was talking about the gunshot and you literally brought up the sprained ankle. Thats. What. You. Did.

Hmm, I interpreted it as you agreeing with someone who was saying it's not okay to talk about the sprained ankle, because gunshots exist. And I was disagreeing with that.

Where in that thread does it not say it's okay to talk about the sprained ankle? that is literally his launch point. And he goes on to explain how bringing up his own plight at the cost of someone else's IS a problem, and anti-intersectionalism. You literally missed the point

It's a thread about how bringing up his own "sprained ankle" of his racist experiences is problematic in the discussion of the plight against women, and then, as a white guy, you said IS MY SPRAINED ANKLE NOT VALID. Which is ugly horseshit dude. Do better.

I don't think many whites' ankles were sprained by her comments, and she shouldn't be fired. Personally, my ankle was sprained by the bald-faced hypocrisy of the left in response to this issue. "Hypocrisy is fine if it's in the service of social justice." No. Gunshot into foot.
