My therapist used to say "If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is probably the one you hit." When criticisms from an oppressed underclass comes in, there is usually some polite and politically correct reason to dismiss them. In many cases, if the oppressed could somehow magically find the right words to say it "appropriately," it still would not be acceptable because the truth in such situations is very often that the real problem is criticizing the status quo, not the manner in which those criticisms were framed. Or, to use the terminology of this post, it makes people uncomfortable and they play the comfortable card. Because the comfort of privileged peoples matter. The discomfort of the oppressed never does, no matter how much real and genuine suffering is involved for the oppressed compared to the minor annoyances the privileged group can't tolerate for themselves.
