it’s 2017 white people need to stop saying “i’m white so please correct me if i do something wrong!” and start educating themselves instead of relying on people of color to provide emotional labor. @ white people start taking accountability for your actions

“To elaborate, at least in my own opinion as a person of color; of course it’s great that you’re open minded enough and willing to learn and change if you do/say something wrong. But at the same time, you can’t expect all people of color to teach you everything [all the time]. Sometimes there are things you have to research/find out for yourselves! Expecting all PoC to be patient enough to educate you on something and getting offended if they refuse doesn’t help at all. Lots of [us] out there are exhausted at always having to be the “bigger person” in an interaction, as well as at having to be the ones to explain why something you did is wrong. Anyways, TL;DR: please do your own research instead of expecting all PoC you meet to hold your hand.” (x)
