…when we call out the disparities in who gets protected, cared for, concern, instead of seeing it as “Protect everyone from this shit” privileged folks read it as, “Don’t protect (privileged person), give a pass to this hate.” and start howling.
Of course, the fact that they are silent all those other times says a lot about who counts as a human and who doesn’t matter - effectively getting a free pass to hate.
