    Well first, the whole 'white privelege' concept is not predicated on the extent to which it applies to one guy in middle England; it's much more general than that.

    And second, you sound dangerously close to someone complaining that they're missing out on something they should have and are thus a victim. But I know that's not you.

    Did you know those facts already? You've been here six years, how many times have I "complained" about being dragged through the care system?

    I don't want to get personal. It's your argument that, when you complain it's not being a victim but when someone different from you complains they are being a victim, that I object to.

    I'm not actually sure what you're getting at here. You might have a point that I have many times mistaken "observations" for "complaints", I can be feisty and get stuck into debates without really getting context right, but you won't hear me complaining about much, you just might mistake my observations for complaints.

    I guess I'm just a bit confused about what the whole 'victim' label means. If it means the person claims to be personally disadvantaged for some reason or other, why cannot that also simply be an observation? Or is it the fact that they demand some kind of justice or retribution that makes them a 'victim'? Or is the label solely meant for people who over-react to whatever thing that they feel is unfair?
