From the comments re: the most recent “stop wearing jeans” ask by picturemethin

“it must be really nice for this person to be able to put on and take off their cultural identity as they seem fit, right? “i’m white so don’t take my shit, but wait i’m sioux so i’ll use this as a prop to make my opinion seem more valid, but then… i wear jeans! OH MY GOD” *implosion*”

Privilege: when you get to wear your identity like a costume, inhabiting all spaces and none at the same time. Choose to participate if you like, or not, it’s up to you! You have all the trump cards. Why should anyone else even bother playing?
