Actually addendum: its a similar concept to automatically not taking people of color srsly when they talk about their experiences, and things they and only they pick up on, just because one or two PoC ppl u knew of used the same reasons to excuse bad behavior. (*cough Kai Weiss/xzae cough*)

Thats just a specific example based on what I've been watching vids on today at work. But yeah. Just because u have some bad apples doesnt give u the excuse to never take anyones accounts seriously. I feel like this is a relatively universal concept that can be applied to many things, rly.
