I was expecting a different kind of question based on the title of the episode.

 

I thought the question would address the idea that lots of racist white people subscribe to, the thought that they're also oppressed because they had a bad day at work or whatever, minimizing the much more serious, institutionalized problems that plague a lot of non-white communities. My mom does this a lot, and I absolutely hate it. I mean, hypertension and insomnia suck, but they don't really compare to hate crimes against blacks and Muslims.
