The privilege tiptoe

Alright, let's dive into the funhouse mirror world of "Everyday Feminism" with their article on how white folks should "check their privilege" when asking for labor from people of color. The article is a masterclass in making mountains out of molehills and inventing problems where none exist. It's a step-by-step guide on how to tiptoe around people of color as if they were made of glass, because, apparently, the color of your skin now comes with an instruction manual and a list of trigger warnings.

The author starts with a personal tale of woe, a traumatic event where saying no to a white person's request for labor was akin to Hercules' Twelve Labors. The key takeaway? White people are apparently psychic vampires who can't take no for an answer and are out to drain people of color of their precious life force, also known as "labor."

Interacting shouldn't be this hard

Next up, we have a list of questions that white folks should ask themselves before daring to interact with a person of color. It's like a game of Minesweeper, where every wrong move could lead to accusations of racism or privilege. Questions include whether you're asking or demanding, checking in on their personal lives (because, of course, people of color can't handle professional interactions without a therapy session), and ensuring you're not turning them into unpaid emotional laborers.

The article then morphs into a self-help guide for white people on how not to be racist. It's a tightrope walk where the slightest misstep could send you plummeting into the abyss of social justice condemnation. And let's not forget the all-important emotional labor compensation – because having a conversation is now a transaction, and you better be ready to pay up, preferably in something other than exposure or gratitude.

Is this all a joke?

In summary, the article is a hilarious, over-the-top parody of woke culture. It treats people of color like fragile beings who need to be coddled and protected from the big, bad white folks. If you need a laugh and a reminder not to take yourself too seriously, this article is a comedic goldmine.
