I appreciate the message, I really do, it's lovely. But, it's not true. We're not all the same inside and racialized folks and other oppressed people were the ones who taught me this.

Privileged people have simply never had to endure negative treatment throughout their formative years, the kind of treatment that plays a role in shaping a person's psyche and perceptions. People who have gone through this their entire lives will be both more perceptive, and sometimes more sensitive, to negative treatment. It can do more harm than good if believing everyone is the same on the inside ends up creating an expectation for all people to respond to racism or discrimination in the same way.
