>race is a social construct
Usually, it seems that people are arguing that

>race is a social construct
>racism is bad
>therefore, we should remove our flawed social constructions in order to end an injustice
>by the way, we must point out the fact that all people are different races
>you will never overcome how not-white you are
>it is my burden as a white, upper middle-class urbanite to educate the inferior races
>yet I must not speak too loudly, for white voices so easily overpower the voices of other races!
>oh woe is the life of a warrior of social justice!

Obviously getting overboard, but I just personally, as a not-white, find identity politickers to be the absolute most racist people I've ever met in my entire life. People don't tend to bring up race around me, save for those types. "Oh, you're looking to be a writer? Do you plan to write about race?" Of course it is, because, you know, since I'm not white, what else would I possibly want to write about aside from my race/gender/sexuality?

How can anyone know what the fuck racial privilege is? You can sociologically examine things, sure, but in the end you can only ever know your own experiences. You only know what it's like to be you. You don't speak for all people of X race. No one does. There ain't no black Lorax.

Fuck.
