I believe I understand your point, but I most whole-heartedly disagree. Rarely is it advisable to avoid acknowledging/discussing a problem merely because doing so is uncomfortable.

MLK Jr. wrote an amazing letter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_Birmingham_Jail) that expressed a similar sentiment. In it, he asserted that overtly-racist whites were better for the civil rights movement than those who were against racism and yet remained silent because conflict made them too uncomfortable.

(Not that class divisions at Burning Man are as important as civil rights, by any means. But you get my point.)
