It sucks that some people think that POC are a rhetorical shortcut to proving that something is bad. Things can be bad even if they don't necessarily hurt POC.
On the other hand, many people who defend AES are from AES, which are overwhelmingly states of POC.
Yeah idk why there is so much of this. "X is bad because the POC I imagined don't like it. Signed, a white dude". It's like (former) libs only know American culture war discourse and they have to use the same language to describe everything.
It reminds me of the 'Latinx' thing. All I've ever heard from Spanish speakers is that it's nonsense and only appeals to white people who don't speak Spanish.
Idk, maybe I'm wrong and some Spanish speaking comrades can correct me.
