where in the book is that part about "crying about being a race/gender/sexuality"?
I thought he even mocked this kind of 1st world problems with Hal's arc, the crying babies meeting and stuff (even though he, at the same time, implies that these kind of problems can be big when looked from the perspective of the person facing them)

In an interview of the guy in 2003 for the German TV he said "...we have our race problem [...] anyway i'll stay out of politics, it's too upsetting."
Of course the "race problem" he was pissed about was that despite being 13% of the US population, Blacks are responsible for 50% of violent crimes.
And Blacks and even Hispanics, despite all of the efforts by the heroic Left, the humanitarian tolerant Left, the Democrat saints, and media, and sociologists, and social engineers, and money, and programs, and doing all we can for their environment, and everything we can think of with every thing available on Earth... We can't close the Black-White IQ gap. We can't assimilate the newcomers. We can't do anything but contemplate as our damn civilization crumbles.
And all of that because wypipo couldn't do enough. Because wypipoes didn't give enough. It was never enuff. And we sorry for that. But now it's your turn, to build your own wakanda, and leave wypipo, in the memories and holes of the Big Data.

and but so the ultimate culmination of this so-called irony-infected post-Obama[1] world is, and in one of those oh-so-cleverly-ironic-for-being-ironic ways, the election of a president purely for the sake of a meme[2]

[1] post-Obama of course referring to the era after the election of Obama[a], not the Presidency of Obama himself. The former President being one of those niggling[b] cases in which the election turned out to be more culturally important than the term itself.
[2]Memes being the cultural currency of the modern world. Doing something for the memes refers then, in a post-sincere world, to the act of doing something purely for the humor--for the laughs so-to-speak. Irrelevant but so and it's worth noting the shift from sincerity to irony in the Obama era being noticeable in the memes themselves.
[a] President Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, 43rd President of the United States from 2009 to 2017
[b] Niggling having no de facto relationship to the term nigger, Obama was in fact a blackfrican-American

DFW would've privately voted for Gary Johnson or someone similar and was never political in the usual sense. He'd be most apolitical in the 2010's out of contrarianism, occasionally saying something semi positive and cynical-free about Andrew Yang or someone or other.

Honestly I wonder what he would say about Marvel and shit like Breaking Bad. I hate things like that largely due to his influence, because I believe they breed the sense of snarky shittiness that depressed him. However, I can't help but feel like he'd find something endearing about the way people love that shit, even if it's the /tv/ equivalent of McDonalds.
