100x this. I told a white SJW colleague that I never felt discriminated by whites, I am a PoC. I was told "You are naive"

People take a really small sample set and paint the whole world with a very wide brush



As a white person, I'm so sorry to hear about your internalized racism. /s

In all seriousness though, this is an aspect I really detest about anything related to "diversity". It doesn't really seem like it's actually about helping anyone, but more an opportunity for white people to pat themselves on the back without really doing anything other than policing language. All the people I know who "care" about diversity only started caring when it became part of their job.


It's corporate priesthood. Their job is to defend dogmas, and their greatest enemy is reason. The moniker "dei" isn't an accident.


The parent of your comment wasn't talking about non-white people feeling discriminated by whites.
