--- Quote from: ultimamax on September 12, 2017, 10:06:30 PM ---yeah but if you believe in structural white supremacy then anyone who's not white is clearly affected by it, even if its to different degrees/in different ways. and it turns out most of the people saying "people of color" believe in structural white supremacy --- End quote --- Sure, but my beef is that many of the young activists I know use it as a term virtually synonymous with 'black person', which means that they end up ascribing forms of discrimination to POC which really only happen to say, blacks or latinos. |
