I believe people who like the term have sincere motives. Sure, people who are victims of structural oppression are disproportionately non-white. But correlation is not causation. By using a ‘color coalition’ as a proxy for socioeconomic oppression you’re hurting your cause.
Whatever they want that does not involve coopting others who don’t actually share the identity. Free market of identities rather than bureaucracy. Most people do fine without strongly “being” anything .
