I am also a white female medievalist. Please read the tweet you were initially responding to. I am not being antagonistic, I am trying to understand the relevance of your replies to what Dr Rambaran-Olm is discussing.

I was not annoyed, I was simply trying to clarify what you were talking about and how it was specifically relevant to what Dr MRO was discussing, namely, white women centring themselves.

We should be calling out his racism, but I don’t think Dr MRO was asking for white women to swoop in and say he’s a racist to her.

I’m not sure how to explain this without sounding rude, but here goes. Within the context of the replies, your tweet along with many others seemed like a bunch of whites women needing to show they are anti-racist by saying Starkey is a racist.

Now, I suspect that most of the replies are well meaning. But, the point wasn’t about literally white women to show up and declare he’s a racist but a comment on how white female historians with a TV presence are talking about his sexism rather than racism.

So whether you or anyone else means to, it reads like performative anti-racism. And as for being offended on her behalf, I as a white woman feel it is important to address things from other white women.

I would agree, although you acting like I attacked you for literally just explaining Dr MRO’s tweet and then accusing me of being offended and on her behalf and performative because I asked for clarification on the relevance of your tweets and I explained the issue is not okay.
