I'm a WOC, I haven't seen what you saw. There were some posts on GC that mildly irked me in regards to race. But, I'm fed up of not being allowed to exist outside the colour of my skin in either direction. I'm tired of, I don't know how to phrase it, 'traditional' racism. And, I'm also tired of feeling like we're (woc) constantly brought to attention just because of our colour. I'm here to talk about women, all women. If you want to draw more attention to WOC issues then post those, we'll talk about them. But it would be nice, for just once in my life to feel like I fit in a group, just as I am. I'm a woman, we're a group of women. In so many spaces in real life I'm odd. If it isn't "can I touch your hair" it's "how do you feel about POC being asked if people can touch their hair". I understand that other WOC may feel differently, I don't want to speak for or over them. Just me, personally, I feel exasperated at a lack of forward momentum because of having to pick through intersectionality so often. Sorry for ranting.
