I've calmed down now and maybe I was over-reacting but one thing I get tired of and kind of embarrassed by is how she seems to be politically sensitive and prudish.
I have a couple of guy friends who's female partners are the same way, so is it common for women to be more politically prudish compared to a more of the guys?
What do you mean by politically prudish? Also white privilege does exist, but also does she know you have autism? I mean autism is a disability and disabled people even if white are still at a disadvantage and likely do not have as much white privilege as a neurotypical white male.
Idk when I first sort of heard the term white privelege and heard a little about it, I was bothered and offended. Because I thought it meant like feeling guilty for what people did before but it's not really about that. It's more just being aware of the history and how certain people have been impacted. I mean I think you mentioned she is native or part native and native americans have been severely discriminated against and still don't have good government representation.
But that is why I wonder if she knows about you having autism or that you may have struggles with social interaction, I mean she may be thinking you're a typical neruotypical white male who has their whole life figured out and is just choosing to be ignorant.
