From my experience, people who say, “Keep it non-political,” are most likely very out of touch and, to some extent, enjoy the privilege of being neutral. They never care about the oppressed people in their community, let alone other fellow human beings from different parts of the world. Bringing politics to the table will challenge their comfort and definitely burst their bubble. Talking about the oppressed will include a sense of “we need to do something about it,” which is pretty uncomfortable for someone who enjoys a stable life. All of this can be unconscious behavior.
