Playing privilege or disability bingo is ... among the more distasteful practices I see people falling into. It doesn't just happen at a personal level but plays out often in politics, both within and between nations. You can all but certainly think of several examples right now.
The broader scope of Ring Theory advice is that one should not act in a way that's hurtful to others, physically, psychologically, or otherwise, without damned good reason. That's not to say never, it is to say that you should be strategic.
And if you find yourself in the presence of someone who treats you in that manner, do all that you practically can to extract yourself or reduce their capacity to act in that way. Physical space, allies running interference, authorities, whatever. Again, I'm aware this isn't always possible, but where it is possible it's a tremendous win.
