POC, how do you feel when white people get more offended over your own race?


Jeez, I fucked that last topic up with so many typos.

Let's try this again.

I've noticed a lot of suburban white people on here and other places that sometimes get too offended over race issues that the people of the race are like 'eh, it's whatever"

I'm just curious how other POC feel. Sometimes it comes off as condescending. As if whitesplaining. Like "you should be offended"

But for many of us, we got much bigger things to worry about.

I don't like it when white people get that savior complex and think that they speak for us.

thing is, horrible racist white people want other white people to think this way: that they have no right to be mad, that it isn't their problem, that it isn't any of their business. they want to sell excuses for everyone around them to be complicit.

A lot.
I find Apu to be a great simpsons character and in no way a racist caricature. I don't care if the person who played him was a white jewish person.

It's even worse if you call them out and they decide to lecture about how you are wrong.

Alright that's fair, just thought PoC was pretty vague and would find it odd for non-Indians to bring that up as an example.

This raises a question I've had regarding standing up for PoC (I'm white):

When is it appropriate to step in and try to shut up a racist idea being thrown around without having that "White-Savior" complex? I tend not to speak up unless it gets bad (or its painfully obvious I should), but sometimes I feels like I should have.

I prefer to just be nice to PoC, and be an example of a Non-Bigoted White Person, but sometimes I think that's not enough.
