Interpersonal affirmative action, the reaction to "suburban white dads who say they're colorblind but don't want their daughters to date Black men" -- now brought to you by the NYT
Also best case scenario I would interpret “check your privilege” as just an invitation for empathy, but yeah obviously people want it to be more than just that. And, yes, what people want is unfortunately not meaningful solidarity.
Somewhat tangential, but I remember reading an article last year where people were claiming that “good cause eviction” is racist because some Black people are landlords, too, but I’m having trouble digging it up again.
