it seems to me that they are saying my hardships, alienation and other experience is not as bad as someone of color, which I find deeply offensive and very narrow minded.

I don't see anywhere in this post where [livejournal.com profile] tielan is invalidating your experiences or those of your grandparents. But it seems to me that you've gone out of your way to invalidate hers by making this post all about you when it's really not.

I can't speak for [livejournal.com profile] tielan, but it's been my experience that your reaction here is a predictable response from white people who, rather than actually listen to what POC have to say and acknowledge that their experiences with racism is different than the discrimination you've experienced, make it all about their feelings.

This is not about you.
