I even read of people claiming they are trans-black because they inside them feel black (and I am quoting literally) and so other people must see them that way.
You find this on tumblr, on pseudo-feminism propaganda sites, etc... a lot of this is collected in the subreddit reddit.com/r/tumblrinaction
Wouldn't that constitute cultural appropriation?
As for German or Russian philosophers - that seems far fetched. This is an American phenomenon, and in its explicit and mainstream form, it is a fairly recent one.
BTW, do you want to get started on explaining away "we can't teach white male managers empathy or compassion"?
Not wanting to be an ally unless you're allowed to be in charge is a pretty perfect illustration of why the slide exists.
"the white folk"? That's pretty close to "you people"/"those people".
I really don't like this trend of painting everyone with white-ish skin as a homogenous oppressor class. It's pretty clear to me that a diversity department that explicitly bans white people from leadership positions will not represent my interests if I am discriminated against.
How stupid can you be to post a "no white leadership", in writing?
