birth certificate, social security card and proof of residence

So regular stuff that any adult should have? And that's "racist"?

You never lost one of those? Kudos for having a safe living environment with a safe and whatnot. It’s classist and affects minorities more, what would you call that?

No. One does not just randomly lose important documents. And if I did, I'd immediately get a new one.

with a safe

lol, no.

It’s classist

A weird political opinion that makes the rest of the world scratch their head.

lol, apparently this was still open in an old tab. Sorry to disappoint, but I've deactivated 3 old accounts during the last week. Making my exit from this website. You were not that special.

And getting an ID is still barely more difficult than buying a bag of chips. Womp, womp. :)

That's a political opinion that certain Americans have, not a fact about reality.
