Alyssa tweeted:
I’m trans. I’m a person of color. I’m an immigrant. I’m a lesbian. I’m a gay man. I’m the disabled.
I’m everything. And so are you, Kirk.
The criticism was swift, as people pointed out that Milano is a straight, cisgender, able-bodied white woman who hasn’t had the same experiences as people with different backgrounds. One person pointed out that her tweet reflected the “I don’t see color” approach, which they called “oppression and erasure.”
Nuance is important and literal interpretation is not always intended.
BTW a little off topic but is Alyssa Milano considered white?

She is Italian, and I didn't know if people consider that white or ethnic these days?

She's so in touch with the struggles of the little people.
Living in a several million dollar mansion gives you the real feel for the problems of the downtrodden.
Shut up and entertain us.

Color-blindness--in the sociological sense--is now considered racist by the progressive mindset. Which totally contradicts MLK. And seemingly contradicts what we all should be striving for as a society.
The cognitive dissonance of these fools is staggering. Just walk away.
Women's March co-organizers Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory have been scrutinised for their association with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan
Ms Milano, who gained national attention for her participation in the #MeToo movement, said she is disappointed in how Women’s March leadership have been silent in Mr Farrakhan’s long history of espousing antisemitic remarks.
“Any time that there is any bigotry or anti-Semitism in that respect, it needs to be called out and addressed,” she added. “I’m disappointed in the leadership of the Women’s March that they haven’t done it adequately.”
Ms Milano is referring to Ms Sarsour, a Palestinian-American Muslim activist, and Ms Mallory, an advocate for gun control and #BlackLivesMatter, who were scrutinised earlier this year for their ties to the NOI Leader.

Lol, she safely recognizes the evil of NOI, therefore she "went rogue".
That's just...perfect. That perfectly explains the thought processes going on here. Thank you.
