There is zero tolerance for any sort of reference or remark about inequality made by white caucasian men due to the history of other white caucasian men and their deeds. Unfortunately, this means we don't see individuals outside of this context, which in a time of political upheaval or revolution is always the way.  Personally, as a white caucasian male, I have no problem never talking about race issues again with people of colour or ever addressing anything related to gender politics in the presence of women. The topics aren't interesting to me anymore because I can't participate without compromising myself personally, so willingly cede these debates to the interested parties to hash out amongst themselves.
