[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By centering so much of this conversation on Ng and Gay, we miss how many WOC have publicly acknowledged Dorland. On[b]e Twitter comment from a Black woman said early on, "I hate Sonya Larson because she made me side with an annoying white woman," which made me laugh[/b]. Some may have been more quiet. I checked the likes for some authors, and one prominent AAPI writer who is friends with Ng was liking tweets in favor of Dorland and kidney donation.

Ng and Gay are loud, but do not let them dominate the conversation, nor speak universally. If we are asking WOC to see that not all white women are the same, we also have to respect that not all Asian women are the same. Not all Black women are the same. While they certainly are happy to push buttons, both Ng and Gay are both married to white people, so I am fairly certain they see nuance. Maybe their online reactions stem from deep hurt; I know that Gay has had people ask weirdly about a chair size and someone assumed she was a maid at her own house - that's really shitty. While I think what Ng did was shitty, I also believe that she must be pretty sad/hurt for whatever reason to engage in such sustained vitriol. I also think it's fine to feel that they aren't your type, and that you won't buy books from them in the future. I've decided that myself. But, precisely because there are so many WOC voices out there. Someone pointed out the Mikki Kendall was tweeting favorably about Dorland, and if that makes you happy, then buy her book Hood Feminism (which is great and all white women should read). We need to help amplify the voices we want to hear![/quote]
I’m sorry, is that bigoted response supposed to help your argument here? If you changed the race on that statement all hell would break loose. There’s the open bigotry of the oppressed. No wonder white people don’t want to give up their power. Because all humans are the same, we’re all bigoted and will give as good as we get if we have the power. If you don’t want to be talked about that way, don’t talk about others that way. Hateful AF. [/quote]

Please read Hood Feminism and get back to me. [/quote]
