When White people try to dismiss Indigenous & other #POC discussion of colonialism & present-day impact by focusing on "tone," that's racism
1/ Kim there is so much wrong with your thinking and "advice." "Hostility" is a term White people use to police #POC's expression.

2/ You're on thead where I'm discussing how White people characterise tone. Here you go labelling
#POC as "hostile" for responding to racism -
3/ "Returning fire." Your language, which uses metaphors of violence to characterise
#POC's responses to racism, are revealing. -
4/ Do you know how many encounters of racism
#POC experience in a day? It's 3.30pm local time & this isn't my first. It won't be my last. -
5/ You've been following me for a long time Kim, & know much free service I give to STEM & to your discipline. This is disappointing.
-
6/ Hope you reflect on this exchange & your unexplored assumptions about racism & the entitlement White people feel in framing POC responses
