Is it true that women of color fear white women more than white men?

We don’t fear you lol but y’all make some of us just as uneasy if not more, because yall are men of women aka if you don’t get your way it’s not good for everyone, and yeah sometimes you guys can be worse than your counterparts. Because your proximity to white men is more important to you then being good women because of that status.

No, only certain personality traits annoy me. And any person is capable of being decent, or fall under that category. Usually I just keep pleasantries short and sweet while secretly hoping I don’t have to see them too much again.

No? Why would we ever fear you guys? Nothing you guys do is scary. We’re more annoyed at best. The only “fear” ppl might have is you using your whiteness against others bc at the end of the day you are still white just as much as you are a woman just like they are still just as much white as they are a man. You still have a level of privilege women of color don’t have, which can be used against us

Also I notice that white men have generally treated me kinder because they don't see us as a threat to their status and superiority as white women tend to do

None of my friends give off the “I’m superior cause I’m a white man” vibes 😭 Usually if you’re friendly people take to it better.

This is more of a workplace thing. Also idk how to describe it but its not just a vibe they give off. Like for instance a white male boss has always been the kindest to me because they don't ever see me as a threat to their position and superiority so they will gladly help me climb the ladder but with the women they are passive aggressive and make things more difficult for me in the long run.

Were all the women mean? No but did they possess qualities that I find to be unhelpful and passive aggressive? Absolutely

Ah, yeah I was fortunate I had a very diverse office space and didn’t feel that way at all.
