A Guide to Hipster Anti-Racism
You might be participating in hipster anti-racism if….
- You offer “snaps” or props to the criticisms your PoC friends present of other white folks, but find yourself participating in many of the behaviors being criticized. You enter conversations about race armed with a lot of vocabulary that may make the dialog inaccessible to newcomers.
- You also often find yourself speaking first in these spaces. In all white spaces and events you participate in, you ask the question “why are there no people of color here right now?” instead of “what am I and others doing that might be consistently alienating to people of color?”
- You find yourself often advocating the most “radical” position in the room and are indignant when others propose that this position might be impractical or inaccessible on the basis of race, class, or other factors.
