When people of color discuss issues of racism and discrimination where whiteness is prevalent, they are often treated as the cause of said problems (Ahmed, 2012, 152). Critiques of racism, in both public and academic spaces, are dismissed as angry outbursts and derailed by demands for civility [...] However, civility is an oppressive tool used to silence dissenting voices (Nyong’o and Tompkins, 2018).
