Because its correct (albeit somewhat exaggerated to make a point.. The hope would be the people who exist on either of the right or left spectrum might learn something and modify their behavior (though I dont have high hopes for that)

I've found that racism on the left is also biased against people of color, but they just aren't as open about it, even to themselves.

For example, all those Hollywood liberals (progressives) who chastise racism but then turn around and produce horribly racist films -- 8 of 10 films coming out of Hollywood are racially biased. And most of them feature those same "progressive" actors, directors and producers.

Yea the left convinces themselves thry are doing it out of love and kindness sonehow. Thr right generally sees it more as tough love despite it being pure hate.

That's known as the "white savior". (Panel L3 in the graphic) The implication is that the relationship is asymmetrical. A textbook example from Hollywood is The Blind Side with Quinton Aaron and Sandra Bullock. (A film with a lot of other racial issues besides the overall white savior bias.)

@freemo @timorl @schratze @vance

I can't read all of text in that graphic, but I just noticed it appears to use the words, "...blacks, reds, yellows, vaginas...", which I doubt anyone who was even pretending to be anti-racist would use.

@Pat

Most of it is ego and just a desire to attack people (usually other whites) without guilt i find. If that werent thr case they would have more respectable interactions with whites who may be making mistakes but are engaging in good faith, which they rarely do

That's one of reasons why the word "woke" is used, to reflect the fact that many times people are not being biased out malice, but out of ignorance or insensitivity.

It's ironic that many of those who claim to be woke will jump on any misstep and go straight to "cancel" without even considering that the offender may be unaware of their faux pas.

@Pat

I dont really think either side thinks they are doing it out of malice, but they are.
