WP rarely act when they witness racism. Every time I've been attacked in public, they look away. In private, room full of WP, even worse.
If we defend ourselves, is never in anger because we've been conditioned to stay stoic & bc it's dangerous, they get even more angry.

I had senior WM say to me, in front of deathly quiet office watching me deal with racism, "but I'm married to a wog." No one spoke up for me

Ugh. It's so predictable when they lean on their proximity to POC, like something they reach for when drowining

Marrying/ dating one POC, or even having kids with them, says nothing about WP's ability to be anti-racist. Gross to use family as shield
-
They act like they have nothing to unpack. I'm unpacking anti-Asian racism and they think they're clean.

So let them share this video - Singh is brave and amazing - but it doesn't takes much for WP to become this woman: abusive & demanding.
