I don't think everything is wrong with "the woke left" or "cancel culture," but this is a powerful piece and a must-read. It raises a lot of issues I've tried to raise before myself and I completely agree that many anti-racists have gotten very, very, very racist.

I have felt very tokenized by the left and people have offered to hire me for my minority status, as if that isn't incredibly offensive. Segregation is never okay. And just because something has a racist past doesn't mean that it can't be enjoyed, especially by people of color--stop telling us what to do with our own culture, you guys! Same with “cultural appropriation”...I don't have a problem with white, Black, Hispanic, etc. people wearing Indian clothes and I never will.

But don't just hate on "woke" culture. It's done a lot of good. It's managed to raise and amplify those issues on criminal justice reform and more that we all care about. Sure, we might be overdoing some parts of it. But it's better than the opposite.
