Then they’re pretty fortunate because they aren’t being discriminated against. My white straight DH, brother, and father all got graduate degrees, have never been fired, have always gotten promotions and earned seniority and higher titles and pay. No one presumes they are incapable at work or did when they were at school. They were never placed with problem kids in their classes to help them manage their ‘big feelings’ in elementary or middle school. They were never followed by a saleswoman at Garfinkel’s or mocked for an accent or asked where they were really from at any social event at work or anywhere else. They’ve never been sexually harassed or assaulted. They’ve never been screamed at by a goatee’d fatass with permanent sunburn while they went to vote, or called racial slurs or the C word at random while walking around.
And neither have any of your delicate dimwitted sons. Their anger is because they’re not intelligent and can’t achieve without everyone else being restrained from having their own intelligence and achievement mean something.
