Xrandadu, with all due respect, I worry that you've gone into a bad place. Your postings lack nuance, compassion, shading. I didn't equate those slurs; I went out of my way to say white people's reaction is a result of their having been sheltered from such exclusion. When you reply to my posts, it's always one-note and tone-deaf, in my humble opinion. I say that as someone who used to pay attention to you. I fear that, officially, those days are over. Yes, I took a risk here. Skewer me for it. I know others are behind you to do so. And yet many, many others will respond in a much, more thoughtful way, and we will all move forward, together.
The great thing about being called a racist so often this year is that there's not much more that can bother me. I am not sure what's happened to you. You used to be open to a little bit more complexity. I hope you're well.
