My point was that in the context of the conference, her religion didn't visibly distinguish her from the rest of the audience, so there's no reason to write
"[...] I can't even imagine what it's like to have been at PyCon as a black Jewish woman"
just like there wouldn't be a reason to say
"[...] I can't even imagine what it's like to have been at PyCon as a black vegetarian woman"
or
"[...] I can't even imagine what it's like to have been at PyCon as a black stamp-collecting woman"
Note: I'm aware that the "black Jewish woman" argument was her own statement.
- pcthrowaway 12y agoBeing raised a black Jewish woman is different from being raised a black woman. That's the entire idea behind intersectionality. Therefore, her black Jewish identity and any oppression she may have suffered as a result is part and parcel in this discussion.
