precisely fear of accidentally doing this is pretty much why i rarely identify as a POC (I'm Indian-American) because 99% of the time even if I do "count" the thing in question is not for my benefit, and "POC" is being used as a stand-in for more complex privilege dynamics

yup same tangentially re: complex dynamics i feel like an underlying reason why a lot of tech ppl get rly up in arms abt discussions on privilege is bc it’s a hugely complex system that resists simplification and they hate that
