      I think with discourse surrounding racism in general and this especially, its good to depersonalize it, more like there is a giant racism machine grinding people into the earth, and eating meat feeds that machine. This encourages the idea that fighting racism isn't about "me doing better", its about joining together with others to fight a vast and inhuman system. Its a stylistic thing really, I think its more effective to ask people for solidarity against a thing, to invite them onto the team against a thing, than to ask them to change themselves, even if here that means the same thing
