I think my understanding of intersectionality is that the conversation actually stops when I've had an experience that you haven't had. So on different topics, it would just be one lecturing the other. It's not a conversation. It's just a series of monologues at that point. And the biggest reason that that just doesn't make sense epistemologically is that two black people can disagree and then you can't be black.
In this episode of The Good Fight, Yascha Mounk talks to Coleman Hughes, a young black writer quickly making a big name for himself, about how to fight discrimination against minorities without making group membership more salient than it already is.
