I know a lot of what your talking about is European eccentric but the oppression of minorities is not just white problem. The fight for rights in Japan is a topic close to my heart and when we label the oppressor as “white” I feel we devalue the struggle of people who are oppressed by non-white individuals. What do you think?

No.

A lot of “bad things” happen in the world, I get that. However, many of them (I’d contend all, but I try to avoid generalizations as much as possible since all it takes is one single example to prove them wrong) are the result of white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal colonialism. Other bad things that are not the result of this white supremacist colonialism might happen but I’d be hard pressed to find one, especially given the last six or seven hundred years of history. So, your request (I don’t know how to call it) to not name the oppressor as “white” would erase the realities created by this colonial history. I am going to take a wild guess that you are white and you think this naming personally implicates you? If that’s the case, sorry, but I write about this and use the naming that fits. 

While I do not hold every white individual personally responsible, I am mostly interested in systemic issues and those systems have a name and a history. If I cannot name them my work is useless. 

For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you.  Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
