At gal-dem we are inundated with irrelevant requests for comment, advice and guidance from white people; and it’s tiring, these tokenistic faux attempts at diversity. Even as I was writing this piece I received yet another email from a journalist looking for a comment on a topic I do not care about. I have been asked only because I am a “black” voice, not because I have any expertise on the subject.Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff there, bewailing the terrible situation whereby the media come to a black feminist magazine for quotes. The same media she's always slamming for 'ignoring people of colour'.
Ever get the feeling you just can't win? Especially with someone who can take offence at a restaurant menu...
It is quite plain by now that we can never win with any of these so-called ‘victim-groups'. The more their endless complaints and demands are pandered to, the more new grievances they will invent to keep us on our ‘privileged' toes.
