White tears brown scars: how white feminism betrays women of color

Part one. The setup

Introduction: White tears

Lewd Jezebels, exotic Orientals, Princess Pocahontas : how colonialism rigged the game against women of color

Angry sapphires, bad Arabs, dragon ladies : boxed in by the binary

Only white damsels can be in distress

Part two. The payoff.

When tears become weapons : white womanhood's silent war on women of color

There is no sisterhood : white women and racism

Pets or threats : white feminism and the reassertion of whiteness

The rise of righteous racism : from classwashing to the lovejoy trap

The privilege and peril of passing : colorism, anti-blackness, and the yearning to be white

Conclusion: Brown scars.
