“White Savior Complex” energy here:
This person feels entitled to come to my profile expressly to, in her words, “mock” me because I “actively harm POC.” Yet I’m the “POC” here, and she is the “white” woman actively denigrating me and even referring to me as a “POS” elsewhere

In other words “POC” should never be “harmed,” except whenever their views about *their own lives* may diverge from this *correct-thinking* white woman’s (or @timjacobwise’s) views—in that case those “POC” should be ridiculed and slandered by all means.
It’s all so stupid, but I feel something like a duty to point it out because this logic informs many more subtle and polite interactions, too.
