ok so i have a close chinese friend who 1) commented on narelle kheng asking her to reflect on being a backstabber (but didn’t comment on xiaxue’s posts once) & 2) commented on joanna’s post telling people to chill & educate her by having a mature convo

how to educate her?

she’s the kind of person who cares about social justice but I’ve known her for 2 years and she always has the “peaceful talk” approach how can you make her understand why we’re reacting the way we are & make her understand her privilege?

I think there are a lot of allies who don’t realise they can only SYMPATHISE, not EMPATHISE because of their privilege
