You and the grandparent don&#x27;t necessarily disagree. &quot;Check your privilege&quot; is a great thing to say in a discussion, and an idiotic thing to say in a debate. It&#x27;s been thoroughly discredited by being used as an ad-hominem attack in place of an argument, but sometimes people do ride in on a high horse, and asking them how the weather is up there may be the most appropriate question. You&#x27;re both right.
