    Man I can’t stand this kind of take like white men are suddenly getting oppressed. The systemic oppression hasn’t suddenly pulled a sick 180; that’s not how this works. Some people are being rude, it’s true, but white men aren’t suddenly being targeted all over. It might look that way if you pick up several social circles who laser focus on perceived slights. Looking on from a position of privilege, seeing those privileges get chipped away looks scary and might make you feel personally targeted. Ultimately though, being on level ground is going to be a different environment.
