Very perceptive! I have found myself doing this with individuals of other races. That mindset is so ingrained that we all need to be self-aware enough to change our thinking to the benefit of all of us! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. I try to avoid ‘they’-ing unless I’m referring to somebody for whom that’s a pronoun. Oftentimes, when I have had the honor of giving a talk on the Devar (sermon) on the week’s parsha (Torah portion) at Temple, I refer to “those of us who…”, and usually, it’s all of us. Sometimes, it’s some of us, but the ‘us-ness’ is always understood. I hope.
