"It increases the size of people "oppressed by white people" (non-white) but excludes them from the group of the most oppressed people (black)"

😅Have you been spending too much time on social media again Dave? This term isn't about being "anti-white" or even about affinity, just about talking about people who aren't white. This is occasionally useful in a society that is majority white.

As I said to Clemence, it basically serves the same function as "person of colour." Which isn't anti-white either. Any more than the word "woman" is anti-man or "gay" is anti-straight.

Yes I have. I should probably cancel my Medium account but I do find some of the authors valuable.

It's honestly such a shame what Medium has turned into. It was always very left-leaning, but it's become a total cesspit of simple-minded, zero-sum takes. As I often say, please remember that the morons don't speak, and never have spoken, for the majority on any social issue.
