How is the west white supremecy? You sound like a racist when you say that and it hurts your credibility, especially in a larger conversation about some of the other points you mention.

Go walk into a tech building in the west in the USA and you’d find that white people are a fraction of the workers present, and even then it’s European transplants also in the office. It is unironically very diverse. Teams I worked on were not strictly white people or majority white. And taking it even further - why be racist in the first place?

How is the west white supremecy?

Imperialist European powers invented “whiteness” almost 500 years ago as a justification for and a tool of imperialist domination, and the Global North is still doing it.

We really ought to teach CRT in schools like the conservatives claim we do.
