"Simple Complexities" says the phrase, "It is what it is" equals, "I don't want to talk about what matters to you right now." I agree! Saying "It is what it is," is not an acknowledgement that is meant to comfort or calm, it's a power move, and a rather aggressive one at that, meant to put a stop to what is perceived as a complaint, to halt to a nagging concern. Not only is it rude, but it does nothing to resolve the issue at hand.
How about this: "That's a fact!" Well, there it is.
"I sure am upset about the oil catastrophe in the gulf."
"Well, it is what it is."
"I feel so hopeless now!"
"That's a fact!"
