I hate how there’s almost an “oppression olympics” where you get some sort of brownie points for being some sort of minority. I’m a racial minority, first generation child, and gay but I don’t let that encompass my whole identity. I’ve had it worse than others and easier than others, that’s the rule of life. What should really matter is what good are you doing for yourself and the world, not mulling over how oppressed you are and how hard you have it.
