White people assume because they’ve never questioned their culture, no one else has.

My father was beaten by the teachers anytime he spoke Chinese - to the point he refused to teach me - is that non-questioning acceptance of a sheep? The Catholic Church only agreed to help a friend’s family escape genocide on the condition of conversion - is that mindless religious acceptance?

White violence very often leaves a lot of us with little choices but to blend in as much as possible, to take the most conservative of appearances. That’s not blindly following, that’s camouflage in the face of violent predators.

Of course, white narcissism means the minute they discover something for themselves, obviously the rest of the world has never thought of it and simply needs a white person to enlighten them.
