This article repeats a lie about black people's lives requiring CWs; the circulating "rules" (that is to say, the only tweet I have seen which advises use of them) I saw a couple days ago specifically say that there are certain things which do not need CWs, and the daily lives of marginalized people is one of them. Cats are another. There is an intention to the CWs, and this is a serious misrepresentation thereof.
I'm not saying white people don't abuse every rule that is open to abuse in order to have things our way, to be clear, and I had one such example described to me the other day which I would love to be around when it inevitably happens again so I can participate in the pushing back. But that does not mean that rules are a bad thing, particularly rules of decorum in a setting where a bunch of strangers are coming together.
Whities are gonna whitey, but let's don't make the concept of mere civility a casualty of that, yes?
edit: Lol white people hate hearing certain things.
