I can’t believe white librarians preparing programs called “The Quran: Is It a ‘Good Book’” no matter their intentions are surprised that islamaphobia is rampant “even” at the library like. I’ve spent probably 80% of the past 5 years in libraries and there’s not only a lot of conservative ass people who spend time in there reading lunatic shit because nobody carries anything actually radical but white librarians are mostly fucking awful and IDG why they get a pass or act surprised when blatant racism shows up where their latent racism usually ferments. There was a recent incident at SJSU where a woman of color writer was on a panel and they treated everyone normally except her causing her to leave in tears because of how shitty they were to her, talking over and ignoring her and cutting her off. And like… That is really not surprising at all.
