I am having trouble understanding your position. I think I'd need it explained to me in very clear terms with examples.

I see a need for focus on distinct experiences of groups but not at the cost of its members relating to wider society or being individuals.

“need for focus on distinct experiences of groups” — I agree. “…its members relating to wider society” — Who ignores that, how?

When people are called coconuts or coons or native informants for holding humanist or liberal values as if they can't belong to them too.

I suppose there is a worry that cultural assimilation of minorities means that individuals will be too complacent for activism.

If they are complacent, it probably means they're not experiencing problems. Why problematise?

I wouldn’t say that it has to be problematized, but some people see it as their responsibility to make people aware of phenomena

Of course. But if someone doesn't see a problem, they can be vilified for not seeing it.
