As if whole world of ideas & art and potential relationships based on shared experiences rather than culturally specific ones are a betrayal

Some people might see it as a betrayal. My view is that assimilation can make people blind of their own group-based oppression.

And as a secondary effect, said individuals may start to actively oppose anti-racist, anti-misogynist work.

My adopted daughter is one of these women of colour who are critical of racism & sexism being assumed rather than evidenced.
