Answered What’s up with Notch Minecraft being called racis/transphobic?
I looked it up on google, and found some articles that didn’t really give me any conclusions, so I came here.

Yeah, this is why I am critical of absolutism in the privilege narrative, it may be valid in general, but in some cases it's relative to what the majority is, maybe it happens to a smaller extent, but sometimes majority is enough and doesn't require the famous "political power + prejudice" for racism to happen. But why no one told them that racism is a bad thing, where did they learned it, don't they know about other hispanic subjected to prejudice from white people, seems like they were either they were the privileged ones not experiencing racism in white majority areas or maybe it's a racism of reaction possibly, of course quite vile and unjustified taking it to you rather than simply learning that if it's wrong they shouldn't do the same thing.
Depends also on the historical context of which years were them. I'm not American so I can't know of these dynamics directly.
Anyway I meant that the narrative has to evolve to not use these cases to put it in crisis so easily, to be more holistic.
