We’re not sure in what context the term “white fragility” came up in this interview with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, but Jerry Dunleavy’s right: It’s nothing more than racial trolling because if you disagree, she’ll just say you’re proving her point.

Not agreeing with the far left

It’s probably something they’re teaching in universities and it hasn’t really made the rounds yet in the public sphere.
This is nothing more than racial trolling — any pushback & she can claim it proves she is right. This is how trolls argue. https://t.co/j3VkChrmFx

I understand that the term “hysterical woman” can have a similar effect on women. How ironic!

It’s like telling someone who is calm to stop being so angry just to get them to react and say “see!”

It's the same as "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

From the person who alleged cauliflower was racist ??

It’s true; that was back when she was touring a community garden and saying planting cauliflower instead of yucca was the product of looking at gardens through a “colonial lens.”
I mean, like, wow man.

She loves being ridiculed.
