By this logic, wouldn't people the state labeled as felons, who don't believe they are guilty, be unable to speak about discrimination against felons, even though they personally experienced it at both a institutional and societal level?
A felon is someone who's been convicted of a felony, so you're still a felon even if you're (really) not guilty of the crime.

They replied to a comment that mentioned the word by explaining their experience, so they identified in some capacity.

I mean they themselves basically said they do not identify with it:
> If people ran around calling you the N word on a daily basis would it be a comfort to you that you aren't actually black?
The parent comment already covered this. You don't believe you are, based on how you've talked about this experience. At no point do you say you identify with the word, just that it was used against you.
