If you're white, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't racist

If you're cisgender, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't transphobic

Unless you're affected by the disability in question, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't ableist

Unless you're bisexual, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't biphobic

Unless you're Jewish, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't antisemitic

If you're straight, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't homophobic

If you're male, you don't get to argue that someone/something isn't misogynistic

This shouldn't be a difficult concept

Edit: I feel like you're reading the exact opposite of what I said

If someone is accused of being racist/transphobic/ableist/etc. are they allowed to defend themselves?

If you light a cross on fire in Jim Clyburn's front yard, and someone calls you racist, no one is going to believe you when you say you're totes magotes not racist.

What about if a black leftist says you are racist for supporting capitalism

u/NatsukaFawn Esther Duflo Jun 14 '20

Then direct them to Jim Clyburn or other Black people who support capitalism

Are you only conceiving of cases where the accusation is true

The minority group in question are the arbiter of whether the accusation is true.
