Ah, yes. The suggestion that racial minorities just get over it. Don't we determine racism based on the experiences and opinions of the victims?
Well, yes, I suppose, and that's why I said all the stuff I imagine you must have read before you got to that part, and the thing I said right after that, too.
I don't think that's true at all. Collectively determining racism is a complex process that involves interrogating social structures and power imbalances as a whole. Minority opinions are an important part of that, perhaps the most important part, but not the only part. Intersectionality taught us how flawed that was. That's how we got the TERFs
In this case he's talking specifically about an intersectional issue.
