Yes. They do, not just in gaming but in all walks of life.

And FWIW I see a lot of people whining about how gaming is made up of mostly white males so it should cater to only them.

*Sigh* I mean... broadening it out to everything else just opens up a new can of worms.  But even that statement isn't a universal given.  You can't just paint with a broad brush the "inherent plight of minorities" when East Asian immigrants (on average) have a higher standard of living than their native counterparts. 

You see what you did though?  You already lowered the temperature by re-framing the discussion around broader market opportunities.  No one sounds unhinged when they make simpler appeals like "non-white males & females also have disposable income."  Catastrophizing the situation as though you're waking up everyday to your very existence being threatened just b/c you're a minority is flagrantly untrue.  We're in the 2020s, not the 1920s.

First, I re-framed the discussion in a broader context and then I went back to the gaming context

And FWIW I see a lot of people whining about how gaming is made up of mostly white males so it should cater to only them.

Secondly, I can easily use one example right now, trans people very existence is threatened constantly. For others it may not be everyday but it is often enough that they feel a constant experience of being looked at differently due to being minorities in their respective countries.

And bro, some in your country with power are literally going after women's bodily autonomy, c'mon man, Lol.
