"Trying to explain privilege to some people can sort of be like trying to explain the Matrix to somebody who is in the Matrix. They’re like “whaaa?” because it has literally never occurred to them that their mode of being might differ from other (non-white, non-male, non-straight) people’s experiences of the world. Nobody likes to be condescended to. That’s why the number one killer of love is contempt, and why I used a Matrix reference instead of something more snobby and indirect."
