   so many white people out there who are so afraid of being racist that they manage to reinvent segregation

     @atax1a I get what you're saying but ime this type of person (PNW white people, particularly) is specifically controlled by an anxious fear that they aren't "good", and thus their actions are mostly motivated around preventing the chance that anything might threaten their own self-image. This manifests as avoiding being seen or called a racist, but also has a lot of other weird psychological effects.

     @clarity they're not afraid of being racist, they're afraid of being called or seen as racist

     @clarity i don't see the "but" here, though — it seems like we're describing the same thing?

     @clarity we've had a white pnw trans girl tell us that it's our problem that she is unable to politely disagree with us about matters of race, because we're hostile and entitled. i think that just about sums it up

     @clarity it sucks extra-hard because a bunch of white people see our light skin color and assume we're also white and therefore they can't be racist to us. :)
