I did no such thing. I simply said he cannot reasonable claim that he's being heroic for being a straight white dude, or that he ever faces anything remotely like an injustice for announcing those things.

He's got nothing to play the "I'm the REAL victim" card ABOUT. Nobody has ever done anything to him based on his identity.

His self-identification is a big, performative tantrum he has no reason to engage in.

He has the technical right to say those things...but he has no justification for saying them.

There is nothing courageous about being a straight white dude of Anglo/Northern European ancestry- I know, I've been one of those all my life and nobody cared.
