I bet there is research showing how racism and discrimination literally tires out the people subjected to it. And now you have people saying they're not allowed to express that.

Nobody said it was disallowed. The grandparent said he called it out as a lazy rhetorical move. It's certainly true that oppression can be tiring (does that point need research?) It may equally be true that some people overclaim on the extent of their oppression, and the mental health harms they are suffering from it, and even make a profession of doing so.

Indeed. reminds me of this speech by Jacob Blake’s sister: https://youtu.be/Ijp85on6UHY

“I’m not sad. I’m not sorry. I’m angry. And I’m tired”

People are just tired of assholes who only blame the world and never take responsibility.
