Dubious about this. That's sort of like saying it's ridiculous for someone to claim to be a victim of assault because they were only punched once and have no idea what it's like to be beaten to a pulp and then raped. It's lesser, but it's still assault.
Or to draw a more direct comparison - it's like saying it's ridiculous for women in the modern western world to complain about being the victims of sexism, because they can vote, haven't had their genitals mutilated, and aren't forced into marriage. If a woman is turned down for a job because of her gender, does that not pale into insignificance when compared to the plight of some other women around the world? Of course it does. It's still sexist, though.
