(15,805 posts)Meh, you're complaining about your perceived loss of gravitas, status and unquestioned prominence in our society, but trust me, you'll learn to cope. Look, every subset of Americans has a similar complaint, but women, LGBTQ, and POC (to name a few) have never even achieved parity with the built in prestige points that comes with being born a white male.
No, what you're experience is simply the long overdue scales of justice righting itself. Get used to it, relax, you're one of us now, the marginalized, the unworthy, the forgotten masses who have never enjoyed the privileges that your demographic category took for granted since time immemorial. You can whine about your loss of stature, or just get in line and wait like everyone else who wants a equal sized slice of that delicious American pie.
