For example, having the political statements of musicians and sports stars put forth as if it were equivalent to politicians and community leaders is deeply problematic - to flip it, would we look at Britney Spears as "the voice" of white America and the person we would talk to about how to help the white youth?
It's about choosing spokespeople in a way that further undermines the greater issues as a means of propaganda- when the best the media will present is Flavor Flav, etc. what picture is painted of the whole?
And along with that, then there's the personal interaction where, because these folks haven't done the minimal work of actually getting to know POC as people, suddenly you're seen as a font of magical history they didn't know about, and suddenly it's your responsibility to educate them.
Except it isn't.
