This is from 2018, but I just stumbled onto it.
This one stands out to me in particular:
I'm glad that Emily feels ashamed for stereotyping an innocent black man.
But the truth is, "Emily" would've felt threatened by the presence of any low SMV male -- white, black, curry*, rice*. In this particular case, she was guilt-tripped by her fellow guilty white liberals into saying that she was remorseful. A truly enlightened perspective would be for "Emily" to acknowledge that being suspicious of men in general also reflects femoids' implicit biases in favour of upholding conventional gender norms.

This one stands out to me in particular:
Emily, 24
I, a young white woman, was walking down the steps to the subway on the Upper West Side, and I noticed that a black man had started to walk down the steps behind me.
Since there was no one else in the station, I started to worry that he was going to attack me and I looked behind myself multiple times as I passed through the turnstyle, trying to keep a safe distance from him.
The man noticed my behavior and said: “Are you panicked because I’m black? Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.” I felt so ashamed for being suspicious of him.
