  That's the thing though: I'm very privileged. I'm complaining about getting some dirt on my clothing all the while my "Chinese-looking" friends get planted face first in the mud. I want to work towards building a human community with a shared future, but I'm living in a society where just the mere thought of such a project is seen as utopian. Getting tired of having to hold my tongue whenever someone is being overtly racist just to maintain the jovial atmosphere and not ruin the mood.

    Well, their suffering is worse sure, but I think you have a right to complain about how you've been treated too. It all matters to an extent.
