Xanthe asked Roxane Gay:

Hi. I am white, I am a feminist. I am very big on intersectional feminism and I want to know how I can be not the 'white feminst', I'm not a big fan of this term and even though I understand where it comes from, I prefer the tem "The ignorant feminist", this that bad that I have that opinion?

Roxane Gay I offer this answer as kindly as possible but the biggest thing you can do to not be a "white feminist," is to stop asking black women how you can not be a "white feminist."
