Tekstfragment
Whether or not they are aware of it, people with a White savior complex have an underlying belief that they know best or that they have skills that BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) people do not have, Savala Nolan, JD, executive director of the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at UC Berkeley School of Law, told Health. People with a White savior complex think they are somehow in the position that should enable them to have more power in solving the problem than the people who are impacted,” said Nolan. The White savior complex can play out in pop culture and real life. For example, in movies, you may see a White person coming to town to help “save” a BIPOC community-hether athletes, students, or wrongly accused prisoners. In real life, the White savior complex often occurs when White people see the day-to-day inequities that BIPOC communities face during or after a humanitarian crisis. health.com, 2023
