    Rule of thumb, if someone critiques an identity that you are a part of and the critique doesnt apply to you then its probably not about you.

    Try telling that to victims of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry. It’s not a particularly sound piece of advice.

      I’m sure black and gay people love being wielded as a weapon to defend you from mild criticism that wasn’t even fired in your direction.

      I think I’m pretty good at not being racist. Do you think I spend a lot of time being upset with black people for code switching around me?
