It never fails.
*Someone brings up privilege*
Person with said privilege: I too have experienced hardships! *gives whole life story*
__________
Lemme try to illustrate how this looks:
Person in wheelchair: Differently able people get paid less and get less job opportunities. Able bodied people have privilege.
Able bodied person: What are you talking about?! It's not easy for anyone to get a job! I get paid pennies! It has nothing to do with my body!
Able bodied person #2: The economy is bad for everyone. You are just convoluting the conversation by bringing up disability discrimination. Let's just focus on the topic at hand.
