re: #286 Nyet

Since his legal parents seem to be white (as established by the Daily Beast; I don’t care about Breitbart et al.), the ball is in his court. Those were the rules laid down during the Dolezal controversy. If you were fine with it then, you should be fine with it now.

I was not fine with it then - it fucking sucks.

This is right-wing bullshit to tear people down and ultimately distract from the shit that’s hurting people every day. It’s puerile and offensive. It’s cut from the same cloth as the moronic “jokes” about Caitlyn Jenner.

Does this mean that occasionally you have to put up with people who are a little bit grating with their stridency? Yes. It’s a small price to pay and I pay it gladly. Helping those people (who often come from painful places it should be noted) feel understood and valued is not, at the end of the day, something to get all upset about.
