Medium is "riddled with stories taking a 'confrontational and judgmental - dare I say racist?'" No, you dare not say racist. You don't like to read articles from non-white perspectives which dare to question the primacy of whiteness?

A non-white person calling you a cracker is not racism. It is dislike. It may be hatred, it may be judgment; it may be many things, but it is not racist. Why? (And why is it not "racist" if a white person called you a cracker?) Non-white people do not belong to the caste that "owns" the social, economic, legal, educational, and other institutions that govern other people's lives. White people, no matter their social standing or income, belong to that caste. If you don't want to read articles on Medium about Racism (yet here you are writing one) then read what you obviously prefer reading. Read about Education, Art, or Gardening, but if you're afraid to read articles which challenge your belief about who you are, then you may be advised to read something more sooothing. I checked out who you follow and who follows you. You are known by the company you keep.
