I absolutely will. Because you are ignoring yours. Being a part of a disadvantaged group doesn't mean you don't have privilege elsewhere. In fact, sometimes, that is the reason why you might ignore your privilege.
You are able to be calm with your friend because you do not see there is a danger. People like your friend haven't hurt you. But would everyone else do the same? Your friend supports people that will hurt people like you, but do they think they can stop those people from hurting you?
I would rather lose a friend who didn't want me hurt but supported people who would hurt me because that is not a logical view, no matter how calmly it is spoken.
