I quoted the relevant part of your reply, but I'll do so again. What exactly did you mean by this: 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.

That should not be taken as making it about you? When people of color make posts about their experiences w/r/t race, it's often the act of dredging up old hurts and painful experiences, and it's very dismissive to come into a post and turn the focus so that it's no longer about that POC but about you. You may not have even realized that that's what you were doing, but that was my impression, and it is very typical response and reflection of your privilege.

I'm not going there with you on my tone. I have not been disrespectful to you.
