All noble, & I think you mean well, but these terms all have specific scholarly meaning and require training and theoretical rigour. Your 'lived experience' is not equal to
#POC's scholarship, practice and *actual* experiences on race. 1/2
Def call out racism! It would be useful to unpack your own & other White people's race position & contribution to racism in your discipline, but please don't misuse scholarly terms by and about #POC. 2/2

Thank you for your time here and kind feedback. I will work to incorporate all of your feedback into how I execute the talk and speak as a white scientist. And to be precise and respectful of the scholarship & language that I am upholding.

I do not mean to conflate my lived experience with POC - Rather, I mean to talk about the experience as a white scientist have been given a "pass" to move through spaces of power where supremacist behavior is blindly trafficked.

I hear you and respect your feedback greatly on that particular point and will take it deeply to heart. Regardless of how much I feel butchered and hurt by the power brokers in this space - it is never equivalent to what my BIPOC colleagues experience or feel.

Anti-racism is work, it's meant to be hard, and it's toughest on Indigenous/ Black people. We need to remember that whatever we face, it costs racial minorities (esp
#POC who are disabled, LGBTQIA, poor) much more. -
Agreed completely. Thank you Dr. Zevallos - I'm grateful for your time here and for your continued leadership in this space.
