I understand that perfectly, I don't think the OP does though.I'm.not sure I understand the issue here. Does it bother you that some folks with darker skin "act" just like your idea of how white people act?But want to be white? Uncle Toms?
You have to understand why the term "Uncle Tom" is derogatory.
It is not just one who wants to take advantage of white privilege, but one who is willing to support white privilege even when they know it is wrong, under the hope they will also benefit from their support being rewarded.
It is like the prisoner who rats on other prisoners smuggling drugs or something else harmless, in order to get a shorter sentence. It is a term of dishonor.
