  • I wonder if white-guilt ultimately becomes yet another expression of whiteness like everything else

  • Anyone anywhere in the world can fulfill their aspirations around “feeling white” by simply emulating white-guilt in the context of their local inequities

  • This way, the cultural vectors still point radially outward from American white culture, which assimilates narratives from all around the world and exports its protocols as some kind of a gold-standard

  • As a colored person/non-American, it’s easy to fall into the trap of taking this feigned attention seriously. But at the end it’s just a well disguised humble-brag.
