My question is more social. When commenting in spaces that are for people of color, is it better to outright say "As a white guy..." so that others know the persoective, privalege, and biases straight out of the gate? Or do you think it can come off as trying to leverage race and speak over people?

I've had people answer both ways and I was curious what your thoughts.

Thanks for everything you do!

It depends on context for me. I'll admit, 9/10 it's annoying, because 1) we can usually tell based on what you're saying anyway, 2) it's not relevant to the conversation at hand, or 3) you were very clearly not being asked for an opinion 😅

But if we're talking about something involving race where it was ASKED FOR, and you want to offer that context, I think it makes sense. Using it intentionally, rather than just throwing it in front of your every statement to a stranger of color online as if in warning for whatever you're about to say.
