If you find something as benign as me bringing up my anecdotal experiences so far 'borderline insulting', then you remind me a lot of my coworkers I've had to deal with in the past. Bringing up my past and my opinions was enough to get them riled up because they simply could not understand where I came from or the things I had to deal with due to poverty. I don't know how else you think I should explain this other than the fact that we had two very different circumstances growing up.
