People point this out all the time. I think it’s used as a non-sequiteur argument to invalidate people’s opinions who have privilege.

Just because someone was born into privilege does not mean they can’t have opinions or that those opinions are incorrect.

I also think ignoring the news has nothing to do with privilege. So, you’re saying that if I did not have privilege then somehow reading the news is going to change anything?

99% of “news” is absolute garbage and a distraction from actual issues.
