People of Color

Mostly a really good article. Even when it's very obvious that all groups of people will have (edit:) members who compete for acceptance by white supremacy hierarchy, it's still sad to see it (and is another reminder why I abandoned the bird site).

Random peeve of mine, but I immensely dislike the emergence of "petty bourgeois" instead of "petit" or "petite". There is a lot of meaning behind them being the "little" bourgeois, versus being "petty", which carries a connotation of being insignificant or unimportant, when in fact they are an incredibly important component of class struggle. It feels like dismissing millionaires (and other petit bourgeois) as "temporarily embarrassed billionaires", sort of belying the very dangerous function they fulfill in countering proletariat power.

They're not "ineffective wannabe bourgeois", they are mini-bourgeois; aligned in interest with their bigger bourgeois counterparts, but far greater in number, and far less easy to identify.
