They’ve mercifully died down, but remember that absolutely trash take a while ago that said, “it’s impossible for minority or oppressed groups to be [racist, sexist, bigoted, etc] because doing so requires systemic power”? Like, just the complete deflection of the idea that we owe one another a certain level of common decency— which very much includes calling out more privileged people when they aren’t showing it.
I was not a fan of that line of thinking. Like, yes, there’s no reasonable argument that bigotry from more oppressed groups is somehow more harmful than bigotry from more privileged groups, that would be an insane take. But also— you don’t have to be the most privileged group in order for your behavior to be bad and worth calling out and changing.
