You might not like it, but there is already a word for this - it is intersectionality.

There is, but people who claim to be intersectional feminists don't seem to struggle any less to reason about it.

I have learned I can throw wrenches here by exclusively talking in feminist quotes. I suppose that goes for any ideal.

I speak SJ well enough I can sometimes instill seeds of doubt in the naive and earnest and royally troll some bad faith actors.

"The insistence that 'only white people can be racist' is a fundamentally infantilizing Eurocentric narrative that strips vast majorities of the world of history and agency. Insistence that only European genocides matter erases POC histories."

"Eurocentric" is sortof a funny term here because of how incredibly badly American notions of racism actually work when you try to export them to Europe. e.g. "You can't be racist against white people" may be true but rather misses how we treat eastern Europeans, Irish, etc.

i think american-centric is a better term people who say stuff like ‘only white people can be racist’ are at best, generalizing based on the history of race relations in america you couldn’t say that if you were from e.g. china or rwanda

Maybe we should tell people trying to project their extremely US-centric ideas of how the world works on to the rest of the internet to check their US privilege.
