Kiozo

It has nothing to do with personal experiences because everybody's differs, it's a blanket that skews experience for all those under it. Nobody crosses the street, averts eye contact, or clutches their purse when they see you. I'm cherokee/italian/german, but that's irrelevant because at the end of the day I'm white and I'm assumed to be a nonthreatening, tame individual with probably a comfortable financial background. I made a post in the feminism thread about it

& being called a chauvinist by a faux-(probably white) feminist hardly defeats an entire concept backed up by thousands of scholarly articles, pieces, conferences, and speeches written by graduates in the field.

So, as you're saying, the things that negatively apply to me aren't supposed to matter because I'm one anomaly in an otherwise distinct realm? I'm sorry, but if I said that one black person didn't matter over whatever because he was one anomaly, I'd have everything exploded out of proportion. The point is, I'm not trying to defeat anything, I'm saying that these negativities are relatable for me and you're trying to invalidate it by acting like you know how...
