tbh I’ve really struggled with talking to liberal white folks this year about racism and inequality, because many are so confident that they can’t possibly be part of the problem. and so nothing gets done https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/23/magazine/donald-trump-suburban-lifestyle-dream.html

I watched this study happen in real life growing up in East County, as our neighbors moved away. My high school went from 55% POC when I graduated in 2005 to 85% POC today. White flight is still a thing even here in liberal MoCo—

so when white people say to me “we love diversity but” or “my neighbor is Black” or “my school/neighborhood is already diverse”

what I hear is a chair pushing away from the dinner table: we’ve had our fill, thank you, couldn’t eat another bite
