No.
"Straight" implies "privilege" while "unemployed" implies "victim".
My entire point was that a person in position of privilege does not have a right to play a victim card. That is different than trying to say that a person in a position of being disadvantaged, i.e. unemployed, does not have a right to play a victim card.
My use of "white" was to imply privilege, not denigrate. The insult I was making to Perry had to do with his playing the victim card, not his race. My mention of race was actually positive, not negative.
