...you can tell by looking, bc if people are coded as white they’re allowed to navigate the world more safely?

as a white native, i see where you’re going with this, have “suffered due to white colonialism” also + still disagree.

proximity to whiteness = privilege https://twitter.com/leilaaleah/status/1252688787068444672

honestly this seems like an irresponsible take, i.e., i feel the repercussions of imperialism and it still doesn’t equate to the systemic violence experienced by black + brown people.

as a Karuk person + community member i don’t appreciate when people insult me or my identity, and lateral violence is real + a result of colonization but feeling hurt is still not the same as systemic oppression. whiteness is a privilege, even then. am i missing something?
