Offended, rich, and White

So that letter from last week, eh? Woof. Anyway, here is some analysis of why none of these rich, White, over-privileged people are not being “cancelled” along with a defence by one of the signatories.

• It is also a way for oppressors, abusers, and bystanders to play the victim;
• AOC sums it up pretty nicely (people, let’s make her president);
• Thomas Chatterton Williams on what he saw as the letter’s intent;
