It's easy to say that it feels like a psyop, but the levels of class reductionism - that is to say - the knee-jerk ridicule of intersectional shit or critical race theory stuff feels highly suspect. Like, you can't say white people are nerds (which they are) in a lot of anti-woke left spaces without harsh rebukes, and it seems really suspect to me. Is there a real fash pipeline in our midst? Are class reductionist white people that sensitive and defensive and... well... white to the point that they can't let go of their privilege even in the context of them being left?
Also waltzing into a socialist space and calling white people names is liable to be wrecker shit. Critical racial discourse needs basic context to not come across as a personal attack on folks you don't know.l and starting totally pointless and alienating arguments based on nothing but miscommunication.
Making fun of Mayos here: obvious jokes making irony-poisomed light of real harms done by white people. Also just straight-up pain.
IRL walking in and talking shit: nobody knows your angle but it sounds like shit stirring all on its own.
also guarantees that the only thing people remember is that you were randomly calling people "whitey" with no context instead of any useful message or idea.
Yeah, the "no context" is the big issue for me. I don't see anything wrong with a heated slant where there's a point to be made and am not generally a fan of requiring POC to be super careful and strategic about how they explain shit to white people, but if nobody knows what you're talking about all it can ever accomplish is discord.

Yeah those folks exist and don't really help anyone. There are also people who get sucked into very weird racist ideologies who will show up at certain events. Like variations on the Black Hebrew Israelites, that sort of thing. Like POC who are seriously against "race mixing" and think there best time to share this position is during an environmental working group meeting.
