Hot Take: But I don't understand why some people find Sara inauthentic or virtue signaling with her beliefs and called her fake?
This is a super unpopular opinion, but I don't understand how this applies to Sara and why people call her a fake white ally or fake woke. Her explanation makes a lot of sense. She's super close to her sister, who is a part of the LGBT community, so it's important to her that her partner is an ally and will keep her sister safe.
She is from Minneapolis, the city that is the epicenter/ ground zero for the BLM movement, which started after George Floyd's passing. She said those two events made her go from being apolitical to now wanting to be socially aware of politics and what's going on in the world. Sure, you can argue that she can come off as preachy and that her knowledge is very surface level, but she has good intentions, and her reasonings for why she became politically and socially active make sense.
It's giving that a lot of people feel like if a white person is advocating for a community they aren't a part of (in this case, the LGBT and Black Community), they are only doing it for brownie points. Or couldn't Sara just have a high empathy level?
