That's called a false equivalency what you did there. To say, "The worst thing that happened to these people isn't as bad as this event that happened to these other people!" is ridiculous. Your girlfriend's point from the beginning was dumb, to be honest. There can be multiple groups of people oppressed for different reasons, at different times, and in different ways. Just because she happens to be a part of an extremely fortunate minority doesn't make the suffering of other minority groups somehow less valid. That's fucking idiotic, and its embarrassing that you validated that viewpoint.

no what's fucking idiotic is the society we live in where we live among people like the jews and the irish and native americans and other racial groups who have experienced turmoil at the hands of others, but there's only one group that constantly gets acknowledged through apologies.
the others realize that racism goes both ways.
