In reply to the discussion: I'm an old white woman... [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)41. I don't think there is any ill intent
Just to show that there are white people who agree, unlike the white right wingers. A mild virtue signalling, that one does not have to be a POC to be happy about this happening. Trying to show there is a change in white racism, a lessening of it - like Jesse Jackson upon the election of Obama, saying the white people have changed. They aren't the white people of the earlier eras who would faint at the idea of POC in these high positions.
