The woman who’d asked the question says, “It’s fine, thanks,” but the look on her face is one of frustration.

No, Ms. Redmond, it’s not good that none of your “narratives” about “white WASP culture” are good. Aren’t we told that unless we are part of a certain ethnic group we cannot take it upon ourselves to define that culture? Well, two white women were telling you that there are many “white” cultures in the United States but you were having none of it. What would have happened if they pushed back further? They clearly did not feel safe to, and they were forced to sit there and listen to that drivel as part of their job. Will they now be vilified and targeted as not being sufficiently anti-racist? Will white students on the 23 California State University campuses be pilloried if they refuse to accept your “narratives” about a culture they’re a part of? We already know the answer to that question, but this openly hostile attitude toward one race is despicable and morally unacceptable.
