A white person who appears to be liberal in theory but is secretly racist, homophobic, ableist,classist, etc in practice.
Someone who can quote Audre Lorde and has a âBelieve Womenâ, âBLMâ and âAbolish ICEâ sticker on their laptops but will refuse to actually believe women of color when being told that they are using their white privilege to harm rather than to heal.
People who pretend to be woke by putting virtue signaling stickers on their laptops but do not actually stand for those values when it comes down to it.
Example:
White Person: *does something racist*
Person of Color: Do you have capacity to talk about why that felt racist to me?
White Person: No, also Iâm not a racist.
Person of Color: Okay, when will you?
White Person: Itâs my âboundaryâ that you stop talking.

If you believe in systemic racism why do yâall act so furious and defensive when people of color express to you personally that something you did was racist?
Like how do yâall Laptop-Sticker-White-Liberals believe all the science and numbers and history of systemic racism but the buck stops when someone expresses youâve personally been racist itâs just suddenly unfathomable?
Racist actions can happen whether you intend for them to or not. You canât just deny something is racist to a person of color and shut them out just because itâs too uncomfortable for your fragile white ears to hold onto. And it sure as hell isnât a boundary to silence queer brown voices post you hurting them.
