1/2 "As we in Women’s Studies work to reveal male privilege and ask men to give up some of their power..."

2/2 "so one who writes about #WhitePrivilege must ask, “Having described it, what will I do to lessen or end it?” <<White people need to act

All those White women & men using #NDTMeetScienceTwitter ignore their #WhitePrivilege & used this as opportunity to let race go unexamined.

It's not that NDT is beyond reproach, no one is, it's that anti-Black dynamics matter as well as what's expected of Black people in science.

Moreover, #NDTMeetScienceTwitter is yet another example where White "allies" deploy their Whiteness, just like SciMarch. #marginsci

1/2 Includes the same White women & men who say they are "intersectional feminists"* but are relishing opportunity to promote themselves

2/2 and gleefully skewering a Black scientist under cloak of #scicomm. White people jump on any opportunity to capitalise on racism. STOP.

*Also White people can't annoint themselves "intersectional feminists" -intersectionality is not an excuse for White women to ignore race.
