This is exactly what Mediocre calls out, the dangerous legacy of a culture where white men’s uninformed opinions still carry the weight of authority, while the lived experience of those most impacted by oppression is treated as “bias.”

White men, if you don’t know your role, that is your answer.

Your role is to stop talking long enough to learn.

To stop centering your ignorance as curiosity.

To stop mistaking access for insight.
