I'm sorry to hear about her experience, but sadly not surprised - it isn't unique.
It's almost as if people who have reached the most basic level of "progressive" (aka the level that benefits them and not a single step beyond) think they're done, they can put their feet up and claim their cookies, but truth is that anti-racism, like anti-sexism and all the other anti-isms and -phobias, is an ongoing conscious effort that never stops, because oppression never stops (especially not once a single liberal has become "woke" - I despise the bastardisation of that word).
Privilege is a hell of a drug, no matter what side of the the political spectrum you fall on, and I agree - I wish more people paid attention.
