The Women’s March is encouraging people to donate to organizations that specifically help non-white groups after Hurricane Harvey.
In a tweet Tuesday, Women’s March said, “here’s a list of organizations working to keep immigrant, Black, Latinx, & other communities safe after Hurricane Harvey.”

Twitter users immediately chided the organization for not focusing their crisis donation efforts on all Americans rather than just select groups.
Does that mean they are not helping caucasians? How is this not reverse racism?

What the literal HELL is wrong with us? We start picking and choosing what ethnic groups we’re going to help in a time of crisis? pic.twitter.com/zzXlBrDRy7

People impacted don’t care about race at the moment – how many pictures have we seen of people just helping people? This is ignorant.

So, you are implying that White folk are undeserving of help? You know that you will be paying for this, right?
