I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or attempting to be sincere. But regardless, acting like you should be thankful for minority status, and equating being upset about racism with frustrations of not being "left handed" is bullshit, I'm sorry for my potty mouth, but that's the most entitled, privileged drivel, I think I've read in recent memory.

Nah, I get what Klein's sayin.

Akin to this, I was discussing the concept with a professor of mine, and I said something along the lines of "it built my character." Even though that's something people say a lot when shitty things happen to them, it's certainly true.

Yeah, the position sucks. But I have a culture and perspective that a large majority of my university will never experience. With that perspective, I have an advantage. Just being aware of things that go on around me has its own advantage, too.

If we had egalitarian societies, we wouldn't have to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of things about us we have no control over. People however have 100% control of their actions.

You definitely have a positive outlook :)
