Oh please.
Now we know good and damn well many,
many White people are quick to complain about not being acknowledged even being the default, the standard and the ones catered to in pretty much all cases in a society where they are majority.
"Why Black history month and no White history month? Why isn't there a White Entertainment Television? Black Lives Matter!? Why don't ALL lives matter?
Black Girls Rock? Why can't ALL girls rock?" etc etc and so on. We've all heard this and it's obnoxious and loud. For damn near all things done in support of underrepresented and excluded minority groups, there are huge and very vocal groups of White people that have questioned and (consciously or not) have undermined movements to correct the harm done to minority groups by trying to redirect focus in some way back to the dominant narrative (meaning only that which includes themselves) instead of allowing room for the acknowledgement of those that have been historically excluded and shut out.
