I wanted to take a sec to piece together the convo so that we have the same reference and so does anyone else. Unfortunately, Summer went and deleted two of her comments, so those are blank spaces. It took me a sec, but I removed identifying info from people who are not-me.
Eta: photobucket is being unhelpful. Hopefully this is clearer.
IDK, I think it's clear by my, M's, and A's responses that we understood Sunny, but that we were all not using the same definition of "privilege" and thus she was talking past us. Nobody assumed anything about her as an individual at any point in the conversation. We were just saying that class privilege and race privilege are different.
And to say that she didn't understand that-- or, I suppose I should say, that her words suggested to three of us that she hadn't understood that-- doesn't seem like a negative thing, but rather a pretty valid observation.
