      7/8 is not good enough for America. You could be a cis-male stiraght white American who is mentally and physically well, but poor, and America doesn’t do enough for you.

      If you are everything here but black? America hates you.

      If you are everything here but disabled? America hates you.

      If you are everything here but born female? America hates you.

      If you are not the normalized status-quo of what America (or any country) thinks is the default, you’re treated unfairly from the top down, and then socially from the top down. It’s part of why intersectionality is important.
