White people, straight people, males, people who are not disabled, those who identify as their birth sex, and those who are not poor must check their “privilege,” Timmons explains.

He writes that some people have “pressure in the chest” after a microaggression.

I think that feeling is called "jealousy" and "envy." In college, you're supposed to feel small and unaccomplished as you learn of all the Great Works that came before you.

Then, when you graduate, you are motivated with the new knowledge to go forth and succeed.

But you don't begin your college career with the idea that you are the center of the universe and everyone else must cater to your perceived slights.
