i honestly dont think OP was trying to erase the experiences of white-passing poc. i think they were just wanting them to check their privilege & understand that they have an advantage being able to navigate MOST spaces as someone who is viewed as racially white https://twitter.com/TheLeonaMaple/status/1252336873168461824

as a white passing latinx person- i understand that being latinx is an ethnicity not a race lol, mestizaje real asf- & i dont identify as culturally white bcs of it... even though i have experienced discrimination bc of my ethnicity i understand that i am racially white

the concept of "whiteness" can sometimes be complicated & it changes throughout the course of history to benefit & maintain white supremacy- but being visibly white passing is a HUGE privilege that doesn't put u on the same boat as black/dark skinned poc point blank period
