Otoh if nonwhites do it, it is hard to distinguish from minority politics, easy to dismiss as ‘reverse racism’, and burdened with navigating the very iniquities it critiques. So despite the presence of grifter consultants (a tax burden) it is the only way, this *could* work.

My point isn’t that minorities don’t join in the grafting. My point is only whites have a serious shot at actually driving change if they choose to be sincere rather than grifters.

An analogy to a less charged domain is helpful. A lot of tech “entrepreneurs” are scenesters/wantapreneurs spouting hustleporn and trying to scam investors out of their $. Yet all actual tech and wealth building also comes from that class of people.
Frontiers are that way.
