    Can anyone educate me on what Spiritual Bypassing is, and how it relates to White Supremacy? I'm from a quite secular place, so I can't say that I often experience people even being spiritual at all, so this is a blind spot for me. I Googled it, but could only find vague explanations on using Spiritualism to dismiss things. I'm aware of all the other concepts, so figure I might as well educate myself on the one I'm not aware of.

        Ah I see. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't some specific thing that I wasn't aware of. I appreciate the answer, thanks!

      One example is plastic shamans, white people appropriating deep shamanistic/indigenous belief systems into a typically grifting and very shallow new age style framework. Another good example is what's happened with ayahuasca spiritual practices becoming mere vision tourism.
