The article is ok but your question is far more important. Post is by/about about Whiteness & so the critique reproduces problems WOC face

E.g. Whiteness: premise of the exercise is "women" aren't invited to talks because "people lack empathy." Already racism is off the table

Structural inequality isn't about empathy; it's about institutions & power. Subject to multiple inequities WOC cannot sustain this view.

Post "specified ‘women,’ but negatives are also said about PIC and other minorities – whether LGBTQ, disabled, etc." "Women" = White women

Discussion then subsumes "POC/LGBTQ/disabled/etc" back into Whiteness framework. We're under "Awarded/offered only because <blank> 7.5%"

WOC don't appear elsewhere. In fact one of the WOC examples (in text quote) comes from a WP. All the other tweets are from White women.

To reiterate your thread is excellent - POC's lived experiences are pushed out & deserve attention. Post, however, does nothing for WOC.
