Whiteness is the process by which White people's race is both normalised and "invisible" - White people don't question how race benefits them
Like when WP liken any form of inequality (gender/ disability/ sexuality) to racism
This erases #POC from the issue WP are elevating

Not sure what this responded to, but as a queer Aboriginal person who's experienced compounded disadvantage,the real issue is when our multiple inextricable diversities aren't acknowledged by non-Indigenous people.For us,they aren't silos of disadvantage to be treated separately.

Thanks and agreed - this is the point of my thread, which is about the fact that racial oppression can't be separated from other forms of discrimination (intersectionality). So racism can't be used as a way to emphasise that other inequalities are 'like' or 'worse' than racism
