White != "upper class"

Turns out you can be a poor white (like myself)...just an FYI.

So you being poor is justification enough to spread divisive comments and fuel further hatred (on either side)?

This is over-dramatic...

I'm just saying in today's world you can identify as whatever the hell you want, and nobody can question it apparently...so It might be a good strategy for white males to "identify" as the race/gender that seem to get additional points on their applications based on their race/gender.

That’s pretty flippant and insensitive to the struggles that trans people go through.

Is it false? You can identify as whatever the hell you like these days...that is a fact.
I don't think making light of a otherwise sad situation, is "fueling hatred". It's actually lightening the mood while pointing out room for improvement. Trying to stay positive is something we can all do, even when there are injustices.
