I think a LOT of White people absolutely refuse to discuss the role they play in supporting and maintaining systems that oppress other marginalized groups. Like, they are actually incapable of realizing that maintaining the systems that provide them with power and comfort come at the expense of POC, and their "advocacy" or "activism" excludes or marginalizes the needs of POC.

This is particularly prevalent in radical feminism communities, since radical feminism primarily addresses the comfort and empowerment of White women while largely ignoring the voices and needs of women of color.
