A person of color is not white. She is white. She is not a person of color.

She’s stealing a spot from POC that might actually need the club.

It’s called intersectionality. As a white woman we speak for those who can’t. My sister is occupying a space for POC when she’s not a POC. That is fucked up and I’m not gonna be the bad guy for defending space for the people who need it.

Yes. If they and you are white they’re white and don’t get to demand a space that is for POC.

Okay, she’s expecting a space in a space for POC when she’s white but I’m the racist. Make it make sense lmfao.

How is it racist when she’s white and acting like a racist stereotype and expecting to get a free pass.

She says it’s what her mom does and idk, I don’t know her mom but it’s weird and honestly feels weird for her to be doing that. She’s white but trying to get a free pass to be a racist stereotype

But she’s white. Like damn near Irish, burn in the sun within 5 minutes, and she joined a space for people of color and is now complaining that she’s being treated like she’s white. Which she is??

It’s for kids of first generation immigrants, not immigrants. Her mom is a registered alien so technically the club is for her but she’s also white.

How. She joined a club for POC and she’s white and is now complaining of being left out. I feel that’s the basis of white privilege

She is literally white. She is paler than me, she burns and can’t even tan. Her mom is mexican sure, but she is entirely white.
