i feel like this is somehow trying to deal with white guilt, or the guilt of social privilege. to me it seems like the "white nerd" is being yelled at by some faceless figure of authority telling them that they can't stand for anything important because of the experience their privilege costs her/him. maybe has to do with JS wanting to be political but feeling disempowered as a representative of change or a political empathizer bc he's male, american, white and well-read? if so, that's pretty terribly honest. :)
