Bit of a reach there, Cherie and I think you know that.

Straight people can't really be discriminated against on the grounds of their sexuality, in theory they can but in practice it just does not happen. White people in the western world do not have to fear racism. We just don't. Again, theoretically it's possible but a white person in the west will never face the same discrimination a black person faces.

What you are doing here is twisting things by making out that I've said that white straight people can't complain about discrimination at all and that's just a straight up fallacy on your part. Straight White people are just not likely to ever experience racism or discrimination against their sexuality. Ageism, disability, religion etc are a completely different barrel of fish and aren't reliant on race or sexuality and you know that.

What you are doing is basically muddying the discussion to try to score a cheap win while minimalising racism and homophobia.
