I try very hard not to flex my white man muscle in service of anything but tearing down the white patriarchy, so I'm glad it doesn't really come across. I just don't want to steal any valor. I really am playing the game on shockingly easy mode and losing.
I'd view survival as "making it" at this point. Every day is another struggle with a difficulty level that other people only dream of. It's sad, really. I shouldn't get to complain.
