Yes. They have deep internal biases that present themselves as 'concern', but these biases lead them to disregard the actual stated desires of the very groups they're trying to save.
For example, both blacks and Hispanics overwhelmingly support vouchers. But do white progressives support them? No instead they've made up their own narratives about how these groups are best served by the very public schools that have failed them.
As a brown man in america, at some point, you look around and realize your 'allies' do not have your best interests at heart and are more interested in using your skin color as a token for social status.
So while I don't think these people intentionally are seeking to harm others, I do believe that by refusing to realize what many many many others are staying and by not thinking critically but rather accepting the predominant narrative (one that harms minorities), they bear responsibility.
It's better to be apathetic and do nothing than to advocate for these stupid plans that no one wants.
At some point, the end results is more important than assuaging the consciences of those trying to achieve mediocrity.
