Who could've guessed it?
"telling women and minorities that everyone around them harbors conscious or unconscious antipathy towards people like themselves (whether they overtly express it or not), or encouraging people from historically marginalized and disadvantaged groups to notice and take offense at an ever-expanding sphere of ‘problematic’ words and behaviors — to interpret things they formerly perceived as benign instead as a form of symbolic violence committed against them — this would likely have pernicious effects on ‘people of color’ and other minoritized populations. Likewise, constantly underlining historical and contemporary oppression and inequalities, pressuring or incentivizing people from underrepresented groups regularly testify about experiences they’ve had with bias and discrimination, encouraging them to interpret unfortunate outcomes in their own lives to prejudice and discrimination — practically speaking, these seem likely to lead to increased anxiety, depression and alienation among people from underrepresented groups rather than making anyone feel more included or empowered or enhancing their well-being and life prospects."
