We should not compare the magnitude of suffering based on race, sex or sexual orientation. That is how you divide people. That is how you alienate them. Telling those depressed white middle aged men that by default they have it easier because of history or because people at the top are usually white male might be one of main reasons they commit suicide the most.

They do it because other aspects of their life, which is tragic in itself. On the other hand, people with other sexualities or non-cis people are being treated unfairly for who they are. That's why I didn't understand why you felt the need to mention white male suicides. It's pretty obvious that non-white, non-hetero people are being treated differently by default in our western societies.
