Recently, there's been a lot of conversation and debate around "safe spaces" and who is allowed in them on the basis of...profiling people. I do want to emphasise (as I say in the video) that I am not saying that people who cosplay their minority status aren't minorities. I think their is a recent glamorisation of being part of particular minority identities/demographics that really isn't true to the lived experiences of most minorities inhabiting those identities/demographics. It's "trendy" to be oppressed for some of these minorities but, for most, it either isn't trendy or is something they are indifferent to in their day-to-day lives. This has bizarre ramifications when it comes to how minorities are perceived, treated, lumped together and "tokenised" not just by everybody else but especially by cosplaying minorities who increasingly prove themselves incapable of appreciating the very things they are allegedly fighting for: an appreciation and respect for diversity, difference, tolerance and the humanisation of individuals. It's disappointing that we're going down this path and I hope that, sooner rather than later, we change course. Thank you so much for watchingπ§, and I'll see you in the next one!
