    There needs to be a word beyond shortsighted that defines individuals who let perfect be the enemy of good.

    The above commenter was simply trying to say that anyone who uses the term "purity test" has failed their purity test...

    That's kind of derailing. Nobody is downplaying that (except the racists who are are perpetuating the problem, but they're okay with this too). Most people here have probably also been speaking out against all the violence against POC.

    If someone commented on a post about a POC being murdered by cops/ICE, and said "but what about the white people they killed," you would call that derailing. And that's exactly what you're doing here.

    You're downplaying the tragedy that is the implicit topic of this current post, which is the woman who was recently murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. You apparently don't care about this event, because the victim was white, and you're arguing that we should ignore it simply because she wasn't a POC.

    we need to stand against this behavior now more than ever.

    Yes, exactly, so why are you taking issue with people doing just that?
