More frequently than ever before, we see reports of liberal, hipster college students claiming they’re “traumatized” by a particular incident or event, when they weren’t even remotely connected to the situation.They’re quick to throw out words like “microaggression,” which is the term a Harvard psychiatrist coined in the 70s to describe the “casual” discrimination of minorities, homeless people, and essentially anyone who isn’t a middle-class white person.Recently, a United States Marine with actual, traumatizing combat experience took a few moments and responded to today’s whiny, wimpy liberal college kids with one sentence: “F*** your trauma.”Chris Hernandez, a former Marine, recently wrote about his experience with a fellow Marine who was shot down in a helicopter crash, which caught on fire and burned the man in grotesque fashion. The injured Marine then crawled over to his buddies, literally with his head on fire.“Trauma now seems to be pretty much anything that bothers anyone, in any way, ever. And the worst “trauma” seems to come not from horrible brushes with death like I described above; instead, they’re the result of racism and discrimination,” Hernandez wrote.
C'mon...you don't have to be in a helo crash to have legitimate gripes against how society treats minorities. Of course there's exaggeration, but there are legitimate claims of trauma outside of combat zones.

“Trauma now seems to be pretty much anything that bothers anyone, in any way, ever. And the worst “trauma” seems to come not from horrible brushes with death like I described above; instead, they’re the result of racism and discrimination,” Hernandez wrote.
He's pretty explicitly mocking the notion that trauma could stem from racism or discrimination.

Being chased through your neighbourhood by people trying to lynch you? Yeah, traumatic. But most people don't live in Oklahoma.
Did this guy even go to college?Reads just like he's just another conservative regurgitating the same bullshit. Nothing of substance here.

Nothing of substance here.Of course you have no valuable input, you instantly disregard anything conservative. The face of the matter is, though, this guy is right. "Trauma" is too easily delegated out when so many of these idiots have no idea of what real trauma is.

Too many people nowadays are scared of the blunt truth and rather than accepting it they point fingers at another party. Nobody takes responsibility, it's always on the other guy.

This guy is absolutely right. This nation is turning into a bunch of fragile whimps.
In some ways he has a point, but it depends on how you interpret his words at the end.Can racism and discrimination lead to trauma? Potentially. I'll just copy out the DSM summary stuff from my textbook here <.<The individual has been exposed to or threatened with death, serious injury or sexual violation: by direct experience or by witnessing a traumatic event; upon learning about a violent or accidental death of a close friend or family member; or by extreme or repeated exposure to the effects of a traumatic event, such as emergency workers encountering human remains.Note how that covers threatened with as well as exposed to. So it is possible for someone who is getting death threats as a result of racism/discrimination to develop PTSD/be traumatised by it. Possible, but I wouldn't say that's very likely. The individual in question would already have to be pretty heavily predisposed to PTSD to develop the symptoms following something 'less' traumatising like that.What is bullshit is how they (Tumblrites) stole the term Trigger and it's conjugations from PTSD sufferers to make their petty problems seem more legitimate. Seeing something that upsets you is par for the course in life, that doesn't mean you have been fucking triggered by it. It's called being upset.If you've been in a car crash and the sound of a car door slamming makes you freak out and break down into a nervous wreck, that's being triggered. Not crying because someone put gore in your sherlock tags or burst the cotton wool bubble you've wrapped yourself up in.Ugh.So mister marine there has a point, but it's not quite all there. That does depend on how nitpicky you want to go with it though <.<
