This is what targeted racial harassment looks like: nitpicking things like “smiled” or “wore clothes like a celebrity, as a celebrity” or “bought cookware.” It is part of the “gold digger” narrative.

This is common in #healthcare “#professionalism” where there is hazing & bullying by racist &/or classist made up non-rules lacking standards…yet people are called “breaking the rules.”
It’s exactly how bullies operate: double standards, mislabel/smear, exclude, marginalize.

In the U.K., “BAME” includes the formerly colonized, thus making race constructs or power different from U.S. as latter had race-based chattel slavery.
Thing is, those formerly colonized have many who have internalized self hate & racism.

“POC” “BIPOC” in U.S. & “BAME” in U.K. cause confusion/controversy

The supremacist view is “it is their culture” but realistic look at history & current distribution of resources + systems thinking shows it is a system of inequity & exploitation. Yes, famine also happened in Ireland while British *exported* food like: theguardian.com/world/2019/mar…
It is both racism & classism where race is a proxy for class often
Look at how often you see South Asians quote Churchill when this was his opinion of racial superiority to justify death & wanted British to violate human rights.
Love of your own oppressor = internalized racism

In #COVID19 I have seen South Asians blaming South Asians, in a very classist, internalized racism way, for the higher deaths in BAME, both population & healthcare #HCW.
6 of 10 doctors deaths in U.K. were BAME.

Personally, as long as I stay out of the sun, I am the so-called “right” shade. I blend in reasonably in white-majority settings. I’ve been told “If you just change your make up & jewelry you would look white” as a “compliment.” Ultimately am “white passing” or “white adjacent.”
By fitting into these spaces well enuf, tho = “elite feminism”
Elite 👩🏼: over-representation of #GhislaineMaxwell types. That’s another reason I have been wary of future c-suite roles as cannot avoid being 1-2 degrees of separation from #MeToo perps or even child trafficking.
