Revolutionarily: identifying with Whiteness →
tulpatheplay: venceremos: In the same way that men who take critiques of patriarchy like personal attacks there are white people who take critiques of Whiteness as personal offenses. Whiteness is not simply “being white” or of Euro descent. It’s about protecting ideals of white as powerful, ideal, pure, and superior. So, this can manifest itself in anyone from a KKK member to someone who...

wundy: Dear People Who Are Not Queer or POC, If the terms “queer” or “person of color” make you uncomfortable? Good. Be uncomfortable. Because it’s not about you and you don’t get in say in the words marginalized groups choose to use for themselves. That’s not a conversation for you to have.
