After being called a "Feminazi" in the '90s by members of my own family (Rush Limbaugh terminology with which Americans will be familiar), this is the most succinct explanation I've seen of this phenomenon. It applies equally well to current members of my own community, who are calling BIPOC requests to talk about racism in our public schools expressions of hatred and/or racism toward whites. This is lazy, disingenuous, classically racist on the part of the whites, and actually impossible, since the whites have held power forever. Thank you for stating this in such a succinct way.
