Which is a fairly small gap between the two, proving (again) that Whiteness regardless of gender is what caused this continuing mess that is called the USA pretty much since its founding.
I guess Islamophobia is easier than confronting your white peers.

@jf_718 a lot of ‘don’t these people know what will happen to them’ thing, almost a belief that all immigrants should be progressive, is also rooted in the unrealistic expectation that other cultures don’t have our shitty conservatives
We totally do, and social conservatism is choosing each other globally right now

Coalition-building is going to be difficult if us white people refuse to look in the mirror and refuse to confront people who look like us. What is evident to everyone else is we can't be trusted.
Edit: yes, this includes "good" white people. Actions speak, deflecting blame and punching down is a purposefully chosen action.
