This reminds me of when I first heard "empathy distress" and "empathy fatigue" and set out to study who was proposing these terms or what the hell was going on... And had a big A-HA moment when I noticed all were white, privileged people from developed countries. Because I sure as hell came from a place where these terms aren't thrown around. So much so that I didn't even know about them. There's no such thing as getting tired or distressed because you "have to" empathise with so many causes now. That's just a feel-good cover-up for people's narcissistic wound when they're unwilling to admit that their ancestors were in the wrong side of History and that will forever be the elephant in the room whenever they're engaging with the minorities they claim to support.

So they blame it on exhaustion. "Oh, I'm just tired of feeling empathy". Yeah, right, funny how ain't no POC claiming the same.
