Tagging #POC ("read @ ThisPOC") is a way to have us fight for you. Don't do this; we already deal with enough racism day to day.

Then there's my various social media, my personal accounts & NFP groups I run. I don't accept that abuse is the cost of public science.
So please, White people, understand that despite your "good intentions" your need to have #POC rescue/validate/notice you impacts our health

*Do* call out racism. Do the work! But think about the fact that
#POC carry a huge burden, greater for WOC esp from multiple minority groups -
BTW multiple abuse is just today. Every time
#POC writes, it's heaped abuse PER THREAD/POST. Most of us write multiple things any given time -
There's racism/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/ableism on street/going school/work/shopping/etc.
#POC face abuse ALL THE TIME online & offline - 1 more reply
