I love intersectionality. I love that it exists as a word (even though spell check redlines it). I love that ppl are calling others out on their shit and demanding their place at the table with their full identity and all the struggles that come with it. that's what commitment to diversity is, not some pansy-ass NPR lip service, moral pat yourself on the back, self congratulatory ideal one supposedly respects. The intersectional path forward is more uncomfortable and a lot more work, that's why it's more substantive, meaningful and long-lasting. So much more satisfying to talk about intersectionality. So sick of the era where celebrities hide their mixed or ethnic identities to be more marketable for the mainstream / have career longevity / not be pidgin-holed (norah jones is half indian ladies and gentleman, nelly furtado is portuguese, people, deal with it, you still like their music, you can handle their backgrounds, your minds won't explode, grow a little).
