Race friendly?

Most people here don't give the slightest fuck about what race you are or for that matter what gender you are, to get along with most people here as long as you're for equal rights. Don't make the mistake of thinking you can come along and demand special treatment in the sub just because you were born differently and you'll do fine.

Race friendly? How can we not be race friendly? We all belong to one race or another, after all...

I see a problem with the way OP framed the question: "white feminism vs. intersectionality feminism". Even if one agrees with the premise that 'white feminism' contains a racist bias in its concern with trivial 'first world problems'/ at the expense of women who face more significant obstacles...

...it does not follow that 'intersectionality feminism' is cure for the problem, or the opposite of 'white feminism'. Personally, I think 'intersectional' feminism has very 'white' origins in 'white' post-modernist academia... and the entire 'intersectional' critique is guilty of the exact-types of privilege-bias that it claims to critique. For example, Intersectional Feminism pushes-aside the Black Women's movement called Womanism.

Rather than contrast 'white feminism' with a different wave of feminism, I would contrast both 'white' and 'intersectional' feminism vs. Classical Liberal Values.

Or, to apply the popular terms of today: 'white feminism' = [Only Privileged] Women's Lives Matter 'intersectional feminism' = Only some designated victim-identity-groups lives matter 'woman-ism' = black womens (and mens!) lives matter, too!

Classical Liberal Values = All Lives Matter

I would argue that Men's Rights is at it's best & most-inclusive when it adheres to that last one.

I can easily imagine someone trying to designate specific races of men as needing special victim treatment... but looking at How's That Workin' Out For Ya in other movements-- I see unintended negative consequences of trying to use unequal-treatment as a corrective measure. For example, it begins an Oppression Olympics between sub-groups, over who gets the most Victim Points. Like when Black Lives Matter hijacked a Gay Pride parade.

Men of all races are men. Also, many of the issues facing men are felt most keenly by men of colour (jail, homelessness come to mind).

I feel sad that this has to even be a question, but truly understand where it is coming from.

I can't speak for everyone, but I am for equality of all people regardless of race, sexual orientation or gender.

This not a personal ideological position, but a clear stating of everyones fundamental rights as human beings.

Yes it is "race friendly", however people are very sensitive to things becoming a privilege contest. So be aware there will be people critical of these kinds of topics given how often white/straight/male is used as an insult in feminist/leftist discourse.
