I’ve watched a lot of these videos of Jane Elliott’s sessions, and it’s always white women who seek to equate racism to the discrimination they’ve experienced.
Now, I appreciate that all women experience far more discrimination and marginalisation than white men, so they may be able to draw certain parallels; however, they’re also the most sceptical of the assertions of other white women regarding their stories of harassment or sexual impropriety. I wonder if this is their own plight of indoctrination by the white male oriented societies in the west, and if they are all (those who share this attitude, not all women do, obviously) suffering from a shared Stockholm syndrome? Almost like they’ve accepted the bad, as they’ve been granted some station above the ‘other’ and seek to retain what little they’ve been granted.
If so, it becomes a two-fold battle, to prevent any and all progress being sabotaged by a group who could otherwise be allies.
I’m not asserting that I’m right, I’m just forming the thought. Open to any discussion.
