Because in America, your opinions are only valid as far as your credentials. For example, if you have dark skin, your opinions on black Americans are valid, if you&#x27;re autistic, your opinions on mentally ill Americans are valid, if you&#x27;re a computer, your opinions on American computers are valid, etc. It may be a flawed system, but it&#x27;s better than slavery and feudalism, and it somewhat works to keep people&#x27;s minds off the real issues, so it&#x27;s all good.
