I donโt really like this thing where you speak on behalf of black EAs.
I think you should let black EAs speak for themselves or not comment on it.
In my experience, there seems to be distortionary epistemic effects when someone speaks on behalf of a minority group. Often, the person so speaking assigns them harms, injustices or offenses that the relevant members of those groups may not actually endorse.
When itโs done on my behalf, I find it pretty patronising, and itโs annoying/โicky?
I donโt want to speak for black EAs but itโs not clear to me that the โhurtโ you mention is actually real.
