Calling mask dissenters "stupid" is harmful on a number of levels, but it's also just incredibly inaccurate and, frankly, extremely white
This blissful white ignorance about everything is getting a lot of people dead, but let me tell you a secret: we recognize this kind of reckless irrationality, because that's sorta what racism is
White people have no reason to assume what language I speak, what my family eats, based solely on my appearance, but they do that shit anyway. That make sense to you?
So in order to survive, we have to understand what you'd probably consider dissonances; this kind of thing makes total sense to us to the point where we predicted all of it
Racism is "rational" in the sense that it preserves a hierarchy in which even the poorest white folks will still be above someone, but it doesn't make much sense beyond that
So your white analysts, who, again, are simply not up to the task and are leading you astray, are gobsmacked, and think it's about intelligence, because they can't conceive of anything else
This is deadlier than everyday bigotry, but only to white people, who are still less affected than Black and Native folks in terms of mortality rates during this thing
But that doesn't mean it's not coming from the same place. This is all perfectly sensible and understandable, maybe not to a lot of you, but certainly to us; welcome to our lives
