  1. I agree the way it's presented is overly sensationalised. But please let's learn to see this from all sides. 1. POC's have unquestionably been mistreated in western society on almost every aspect of life and now they finally have platforms like this on which they can be heard and they really want to be heard. 2. The point made here is that white people created a metric for white people by which ALL people are measured with no consideration for other ethnicities. They may not have been a conscious decision to harm POC, but that is undoubtedly the effect. 3. I despair at the lack of viable solution presented and that this will absolutely be used by those who benefit by telling people 'everything is racist now'.
