i realize you can't help it. i'm privileged too but i don't get offended when i'm called out on it because it's not even remotely the same as being judged for being under privileged. you have to realize that in the areas where you have privilege (rich or white or straight etc) you will never ever suffer as much oppression as someone who is poor or a poc or gay. so get over it.
like just for example a black person being discriminated against actually affects them and their standing in society and how society views them. because they are a minority, when the majority discriminates against them it actually oppresses them. white people being discriminated against by a select few does not affect them at all (except maybe some hurt feelings) because of the privilege they receive elsewhere.
