When you look at the big picture of discrimination, the vast majority of it happens to people who are not white, heterosexual, rich people, and the vast majority of the serious discrimination occur against people who are not white, heterosexual, rich people. My argument is that the fact that occurs to those groups in small amounts is irrelevant to the fact that the vast majority of all cases do NOT occur to them.

I can't say I know your government's system very well. However, welfare is often designed to benefit the groups who have suffered historically and are at a disadvantage in the modern day because of it. That being said, I'm in no way familiar with your welfare system, so I cannot adequately comment on it.

However, I can say it's a load of shit when you say all heterosexuals receive the stereotype of being intolerant by default. You only earn that little label when you do something to justify it. Every LGBT group I've worked with has been nothing but nice towards heterosexuals, because they recognize that not being nice to them does nothing to further their push for equal rights. If anything, every LGBT group I've worked with has had to been comforting and nice to heterosexuals who show any interest in the group because other people are often either openly or indirectly hostile towards heterosexuals who show any interest in being an LGBT ally. There's the weird assumption that by being OK with homosexual rights that you must be homosexual yourself, and that you're not capable of sympathizing with another group unless you are that group. If anything, the closest I've seen an LGBT group to being openly discriminatory to heterosexuals is plain cautiousness because of too many heterosexuals thinking that somehow every homosexual in the world is somehow attracted to them and that they'll get raped because of it.


Here's the difference. I don't hear "you dumb cracker" as often as I hear "you dumb nigger". I don't hear "you fucking hetero" as much as I hear "you fucking homo". I don't hear "you rich snob" as much as I hear "you hobo". Again, it's not the fact that discrimination occurs, but upon whom the majority of it occurs to. And white, heterosexual, rich males are the least likely to be discriminated against out of every possible racial, economic, sexual demographic out there. And there's a term for this perceived perception of being discriminated against for being white. It's called white privilege, and it's something you wouldn't notice when you live in the circle of whiteness. You don't realize how much you take for granted until you see how little everybody else has to work with because they aren't white, because they aren't even middle class, let alone rich, because they aren't heterosexual.
