You'll notice "disabled veterans with arms and legs blown off in the war" doesn't make the list.
Somehow I would think a man with no limbs and PTSD might be placed above a able-bodied straight white woman, but apparently not in this universe -- which proves how it's based on a bunch of assumptions.
And as I've said before, by pointing out "privilege," you're inadvertently telling people who earned that privilege because they created the most stuff or were smart/strong enough to get others to do it for them. So, in essence, these people confirmed the stereotype that white men rule. Great job!
I'm sorry, the veteran asked for it by joining the white-cis-something-dominated patriarchal army.
If you really want to make an example, take a man with no limbs and PTSD from losing his limbs when a mine left from a war 20 years ago exploded and killed his son.
