LKH really has no idea what racism is like and how POC have to deal with it. She really, really doesn't. I mean, I'm a white suburban middle-class kid myself so it's not like I have much better an idea, but given how she also has no idea what homophobia is like and how LGBT folks deal with it (which I do have experience with) I can guess that her handling is just as bad, even if I may not be able to see it as well. And yeah, it is VERY insulting.
