Many minorities, gay people, and males have experienced horrible trauma/abuse in life without anyone even pretending to give a shit.
She probably does need some sort of treatment or therapy but it should never be an excuse to hurt others. White paranoia is a real problem that white individuals need to accept and fix.
I've had a white girlfriend who turned out to be a deeply oppressed professional victim of the patriarchy who definitely needed mental health treatment, so I'm familiar with the type of person who likes to think of herself as a victim while actually being an abuser to others. Those are 2 separate issues. White privilege is a third issue that has tremendous consequences and instant gratification. I love white women and have dated many. They've mostly been kind decent people except for this one.
