    How does this help intersectionality? I don’t quite get that. It seems, to me, to imply that black people with Irish surnames are supposed to assume they have them because of slavery. As pointed out elsewhere in the comments, though that is true and has happened, it’s not all instances.

    To me, something intersectional would be highlighting both these groups have faced historical racism rather than, what to me ses like, trying to highlight something potentially negative one of these did to the other without bringing a bunch of receipts. 🤷‍♂️
