That cultural etiquette guide has one bit that really bugs me. It says No person of color can be a racist as long as white people maintain power.
So white people in power automatically makes, say, black anti-semitism not racist? Sometimes I think that, with all the good intentions in the world, redefining terminology to better illustrate a political point inevitably makes the issue more, not less, confused.
