Do you imagine that marginalized people go around worrying about what the political opinions of their coworkers might be?
It sure isn't what I do. It sure isn't what my wife or her friends do.
Each of us has a lot of woke white colleagues who are super concerned about everyone's political opinions, though. Super concerned that we know they have good ones, super concerned that everyone thinks the same as they do.
A black woman at our institution took it upon herself to send a letter to her very white department explaining that their obsession with the hidden racism of "brown bag seminars" wasn't helping any actual black people.
It hasn't made our woke white colleagues any less exhausting, but I appreciated her speaking out.
