      Right now is festival season in Sydney. I'm currently attending 3 (Writers Festival, Spanish Film, & Comedy). I make it a point to watch works by Indigenous women, other #WOC, other #POC & White women. But I'm always surrounded by White people. Quick thread on the experience

      Being in an audience surrounded by White people, never fails to astound me that White people get uncomfortable that Indigenous & #POC speak directly about and TO White people: "You White people need to check your racism" At this point, WP stop laughing. Or scoff. Or look uneasy.

      Because White middle class people who can afford to go to these shows walk through the world never interrogating their whiteness, it is a break in their false consciousness (race + class) to have a #POC centred on stage, calling attention to White people's race AND their racism

      At the Spanish Film Festival, some White people will get drunk and then talk through the films, laughing at scenes that aren't funny. E.g. yesterday during Carmen y Lola, which is one of the best films I've seen about patriarchy, they laughed at Gitano wedding costumes & culture

      At the Comedy Festival, White people feel perfectly in on race jokes where absurdity of racism is the focus. That's cause they think those jokes aren't about them; it's about "bad" racists When the jokes are "White people why do you do this racist thing..." they clam up.

      As an audience member, I'm hyper aware that I'm surrounded by White people. The other night excited to see Dr Cooper, an usher stopped me & growled that I check in my backpack. Not politely - rudely. I was too tired to deal with him. I comply. I walk in & see WP & their backpacks

      The irony of me having to check in my backpack literally containing my justice work - also symbolic of how I'm stopped EVERY TIME I fly because I'm Brown - and White people able to walk in with their literal and *invisible knapsacks* of White privilege unchecked is unpalatable.

      I've stopped going to these events with White people because it's tiring at the end having to field questions that explain the politics of race & essentially White people asking me to help them feel ok about their whiteness. No.

      I'm always weary of Q&A time, Erich invariably means a non-Indigenous, White person will get up and ask the exact sane things: 1) I'm trying to be a good White person, here's a list of the Brown people I work with (e.g. at Boochani talk while he speaking from DETENTION)

          2) What can White people do to help? (Even though we just spent one hour in the room together, all hearing the same talk, which covered a plethora of things we can all do. This is because White people want to feel special, like there's a special but EASY tip just for them)

          White people walk away from these events not seeing themselves as part of the problem. They think paying for a ticket for an once-off event is all that's needed to end racism Gotta go now. Back to the Latin Film Festival, one of the few places I can hear my language in a theatre
