If I think our skin color precludes us from the ability to have an informed opinion on something that doesn’t affect us in the slightest, who gives a shit?

When I have to put up with you criticism and your attitude, I do.

I agree with Warbler. I think it’s rude to tell someone their argument is inherently ignorant and automatically invalid. Yes, people in a majority culture might not have first-hand experience regarding issues or situations a minority culture may face, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still form nor communicate an opinion based on available evidence provided to them on the subject.

Being dismissive of someone’s opinion just because they have second or third hand evidence rather than first hand is just as wrong as someone with said third hand evidence assuming they’re a foremost authority on the subject.
