Anyone else old enough to remember when it was racist to "whitesplain" by offering an opinion or observation on matters of race not that long ago?

I hear 'mansplaining' much less that I did 2-3 years ago. It was so toxic. I would often disagree with a friend, respond to her in the same way I would with a male friend (presenting facts showing an alternate view), and they got accused of mansplaining. It was infuriating. So hypocritical too, its a sexist accusation of sexism. 'whitesplaining' never took off in the same way IMO

I saw it used in a few shows like "you", always so cringe and made me stop watching. People actually used it in real speech??

I thought the same thing when I heard it on 'You' as well but then I realized the characters were leftists and would of course use language like that. Seemed like good writing in fact. Also keep in mind the main character virtue signaling about being a 'Democrat' only for him to be a sociopathic murderer. Seem like that fits a liberal perfectly. See also the Byrd's in Ozarks
