What if they're visibly queer white people? Immigrants? Disabled?
I get what you mean though. I'm just curious honestly because I have almost the same thing but towards queer people
None of those groups are exempt from this guideline.
Honestly as a disabled queer second-generation immigrant who'd be classified as "white" by the US census if I lived in one of those occupation zones, you're not wrong. I have seen some absolutely ridiculous bullshit from people who on the surface have almost the exact same conditions as me — it's in fact those experiences that have convinced me that I cannot rely on disability, queerness, or immigrant status, not even in combination, as a reliable predictor for good politics: whiteness tends to overpower everything with its stink in most cases, but every system has its entropy, and sometimes somebody will slip through the cracks... Some factors might increase the odds, but never in a way that should be counted on, never.
All those people are racist too dude
Oh I meant as a general predictor of good politics. I'm not from the US so it may be different there but I think in the UK it's a lot easier to find an anti-racist queer person than a person of colour who's not queerphobic
Queer white dudes have fucked with my heart and mental; and one of 'em was disabled. Like, "said all the right things just to keep me from suspecting I was their token" fucked with. Trust has to be earned from me unless I already outright know, likely through third-party introduction, that you're on the level and actually either cognitively or existentially kinfolk.
