The writer uses "people of color" and "whose first language is not English" to build a case for the author's own desire. The author doesn't truly serve in the interests of the black community, immigrants or any of these groups they are name-dropping.
I guess, every one's doing it though. Think of the children!
- icebraining 9y agoWhich writer? There are 100 initial signers to the letter.
- Xeoncross 9y agoYou can have many people who mostly agree with or support you, but would never have written as you did. All 100 signers did not write the post.
- icebraining 9y agoRight, but you didn't just say the author wasn't a person of color or homeless; you also, and more importantly, said the author doesn't serve their interest and is just using them. And for that claim, whether the signatories includes people of the mentioned group(s) is relevant, because clearly they felt it was serving their interests.
