Not to be petty on a Sunday but a WW who was in MFS leveraged white pain over me w/no apology & is still talking about "accountability"

White women from other minority backgrounds fail to address race for themselves, even if they are incensed over racism in others/society.
White women who say they are "intersectional" very rarely *practice* INTERSECTIONALITY, an anti-racist framework for socio-legal change.

When White women take their non-racialised minority identity (gender/sexuality/disability/age) & elevate above race = not intersectionality
-
When White minority women speak of non-racialised issue as "the biggest problem of our time" they are not practising intersectionality
-
They will make racist comparisons without seeing this as racism. They compare non-racial issues to racial segregation, a tool of colonialism
-
They compare institutional racism to their non-racialised minority identity, failing to see how POC in their communities are doubly impacted
-
This is not why intersectionality exists. In fact, most people who say they are "intersectional feminists" haven't read the original works.
-
That's okay because these works are academic; but they consume White women's popular writing on intersectionality & emulate. That's not okay
-
White minority women who exempt themselves from critical thinking on race are doing White feminism even if they say "intersectionality."

They don't realise there is a mountain of LGBTQIA/disability/class & other studies written by White minority W, & they act just like them
