The Study of Racialism

The rule forbids a member from criticizing someone’s self-identity. You may, however, criticize someone for advocating a self-identity for others. For example, you may not say, “It is wicked of ABC to self-identify as XYZ and to claim that he does so to avoid being a self-hating sellout.” This would be criticizing ABC’s self choice. But you may say, “It is wicked of ABC to accuse anyone who does not make the same choice as he did, of being a self-hating sellout.” This would be criticizing ABC’s advocacy of a self-identity for others, not his self-choice.
