How is it submissive or humiliating to recognize you’re not owed an education from anyone, let alone marginalized people? I get why it’s embarrassing to realize you expected one and that’s kind of messed up. But it’s embarrassing the way personal growth tends to be.https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1224916120479518720 …
I see it used as a criticism-escape, and they give an extremely unhelpful 'google' (which gives lots of contradictory information), or direct me to one-sided opinion pieces that just raise more questions than it answers.

I totally buy that sometimes people don't wanna explain basics over and over. But every time I've heard someone tell me it's not the job of a marginalized person to educate you, it has *not* been for an easily learned and undisputed basic fact.

Well that’s another issue. Some concepts like systemic racism or misogyny or privilege are hard to summarize, especially to someone not predisposed to want to understand, and it’s emotional labor people may understandably not want to perform.
