I don't see that at all. This comment says more about your mindset than anything else, to be honest.

  What mind set is that?

    Well, I do not presume to know your mind, like you seem to presume to know the mind of the author of the article. However, your comment does seem to dismiss the the article as a list of personal grievances of the author, rather than illustrations of common cultural issues. To me, the article obviously consisted of considerably more than that. Unsurprisingly, privilege makes it easy to dismiss concerns of the groups that are "other", that do not reflect our personal day to day experiences. For me, the value of articles like this is in providing a window into the issues that most of us do not have to deal with normally, and making me review my own preconceptions to see if I have unwittingly treated people differently than I should like.

      Do I know the mind of the author fully? No. But I can look the long article he wrote and the thoughts he puts forth. I didn't dismiss the article. I stated it brings up things that need to be known (a positive). I then went on to say the problematic part. Some of his Hhis thinking is also inline with what I see in some social media that turns things in to an examples of racial discrimination or privilege when that simply isn't the case. Outrage over giving Dlyn Roof a bullet proof vest or food when in fact that is a common practice not a reward.
