The effort to ban plastic straws is everything that’s wrong with ableist white liberalism in a nutshell:

• It’s a policy built on emotion
• about animals
• that solves a tiny part of an enormous problem
• by imposing on a marginalized part of society
• without listening to the lived experience of those folks
• letting big corporations make bold declarations of solidarity
• without holding accountable those and other corporations that cause the real problems.

The disability rights movement needs names for ableist dorks equivalent to “Becky” and “Chad.”  Suggestions?

Update:  I love the suggestion of “Wally” the White Ableist Liberal.  Thanks, MontanaBradley!
