I love the way she states this stuff as a fact without even the slightest attempt to explain why it is one.
“Shut up,” she explains.
That said, liberals have no choice. If transracial were to be accepted, it would utterly destroy the neat little categories of Designated Victim Group (DVG) and Designated Oppressor Group (DOG) they’ve slotted people into.
If people can remove themselves from a DOG to a DVG by an act of will, they’ve lost the game.
There’s no logical way to defend their position, but that’ never bothered them much.

Good observation!
And on that very subject:
Here's the introductory paragraph:"Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental slights, snubs, or insults, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their marginalized group membership (from Diversity in the Classroom, UCLA Diversity & Faculty Development, 2014). The first step in addressing microaggressions is to recognize when a microaggression has occurred and what message it may be sending. The context of the relationship and situation is critical. Below are common themes to which microaggressions attach."The document then lists a series of themes, such as "Alien In One’s Own Land," "Ascription of Intelligence," "Color Blindness," and "Myth of Meritocracy." Next to the themes, it gives examples of the microaggression within that category, and then an interpretation of the message sent.
