Any careful reader would note the times Kurosaki has talked about interacting with people with righties views and trying to get by in this world.
No he doesn’t need me or any other soldier but c’mon, read the posts. He’s not a hard lefty whatsoever.
I think the issue that is questionable is this: if we are seeking reconciliation and acknowledgement of past generalizations, it could be argued that the name calling of saying “Uncle Tom” is wrong and hurtful.
To me, the more accurate, non-race based generalization is just someone who is perceived to be “selling out” to a power structure and delivering what is expected by something or someone in that structure, when its historically been against the interests of an oppressed group they belong to.
As a white person, I could never be comfortable using that term or any term on a black person because i have personally lived through the glacial process of society coming to understand how wrong it is to de-personalize. In the earliest years of my life, it was completely acceptable by “normal” society to call black people any number of things. Of course, the far right is still at it, but I don’t think it’s normal anymore.
