Seriously, what is with the ‘but I didn’t MEAN to hurt anyone’ bollocks when it comes to discussions of privilege?

If I accidentally hit and kill a cat with my car, it doesn’t matter that I didn’t mean to do it. It doesn’t even matter that I swerved and tried my best not to hit it.

The outcome is the same: a dead cat, because of me.

EDIT: my apologies if this is extremely trivialising. Please let me know if it is and I’ll modify/delete as necessary.
