I do not make her feel like a "good" White person. I do not give her kudos for being at a panel by Black women. I am polite but I don't smile when she is ignorant. Finally she says: "I think we're very lucky to live here. Don't you agree?" She wants to put me in my place.pic.twitter.com/1hSlnyCzvx
Me: What do you mean by that? Lucky in comparison to what? [AUS has a myth that we're the "lucky country." This country is beautiful but our history is genocide & enslavement of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people. It is the White Australia policy. Not so lucky for all]pic.twitter.com/AnDn1paHr2
Now she's deeply flustered. She asks what I do. Me: I'm a sociologist. White woman [physically relaxes]: "Ah! Now I'm starting to get this!" The show starts. She can dismiss her discomfort due to my education. Maybe I'm just a smartiepants agitator. It's not her. It's me.pic.twitter.com/0anyiVwVf0
So she continues to move through the world thinking she's not contributing to racism. As so many White people do.
#POC navigate conversations like this w/ White people daily, alongside other forms of everyday racism (being followed in stores etc) and structural discrimination.pic.twitter.com/qztfxfv2Ca
Moral of the story: White people really need to think deeply about how they wield their Whiteness. No amount of books you read, shows you watch, or "poor refugees" you utter, you're likely making #POC uncomfortable at the least, or doing great harm at worst.

No. I'm Peruvian. 
"Oh! Potatos!"
Peru is famous for agriculture. But why do you think a White woman reduces this to "potatoes" 
, even though she says she's travelled through Peru? 
Why is it I've only had White people ask if I'm a "peasant"? 
I say: It depends. For whom?
She starts babbling about refugees. "Terrible how they've been treated!"
Me: "Yes. WE'VE done them wrong."
Her: [squirms
