in the words of Bahar Mustafa,

    I, an ethnic minority woman, cannot be racist or sexist towards white men, because racism and sexism describe structures of privilege based on race and gender. Therefore, women of colour and minority genders cannot be racist or sexist, since we do not stand to benefit from such a system.

    In order for our actions to be deemed racist or sexist, the current system would have to be one that enables only people of color and women to benefit economically and socially on such a large scale and to the systematic exclusion of white people and men, who for the past four hundred years would have been subjected to block colonization.

    We do not live in such a system, we do not know of such a history, reverse racism and reverse sexism are not real.

tl;dr shut up white boy
