Identity is not additive for black women

Evidence

In addition to rejecting essentialism within feminism, Critical Race feminists reject CRT’s essentialization of all minorities. As the experiences of males may differ significantly from females, we are thus a feminist intervention within CRT, Our antiessentialist premise is that identity is not additive. In other words, black women are not white women plus color, or black men plus gender. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1163
