You poked the bear and, because you're white and rich, you got growled at instead of bitten. Pardon me if I do not feel sympathy for this "elite status" privileged whine.
Social change (without revolution) doesn't come until enough of the already empowered embrace it. So it may seem trivial to those of us that have seen far worse, but the alternative is for the white and rich to never hear about the problems that have affected one of their own. Since most people only recognize a problem when they are personally at risk, this sort of "whine" is a necessary part of the process.
