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

Minority White women who practice White feminism can be identified by who they cite, collaborate with, supervise, employ & even on Twitter.

There are definitely White women from majority and minority backgrounds who do NOT practice White feminism. See their actions & networks.

So that's an explanation to say: I witness and recognise your frustration. It's a pattern that's endemic in many communities. It is complex.

All of us can learn and grow by working with other women who are equally committed to fighting patriarchy, colonialism & all discrimination

Race and gender compound all other inequities; leaving out race only ensures status quo is undisturbed. Intersectionality is key to change.
