I brought it here because I feel that the discussion misses the point and redirects anger away from the systems and structures that actually cause it onto other people in the same position as them. It is important that people understand what is happening or this and similar lines of divide and conquer (racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, you name it) are going to keep recurring. You might all be good eggs in every other regard, I have no reason to doubt that you are, but if you see how it can happen to you, you start to understand how it happens to others in worse ways. Understanding something is the first step in remedying it.

I definitely can see how it might just seem irrelevant from your perspective though, so that's absolutely fair enough.
