Although challenges of anti-racist work are most commonly framed in relation to White people and People of Color, there are significant challenges involved in creating allies across minority racial groups. This article describes our experiences within a community organization aimed at training anti-racist culturally sensitive K-12 educators. As Asian American and Native American facilitators within a group of facilitators of color who were predominantly Black, we describe our experiences of relative marginalization and our (mostly failed) attempts to create change within the organization to be more inclusive of the perspectives, experiences, and needs of non-Black people/students of color. We contextualize these experienced conflicts in relation to race hierarchies, the "divide and conquer strategy" and the maintenance of White privilege. We offer reflections for how racial minorities engaged in anti-racist education could be better allies and how organizations might better foster environments that contribute to the creation of these alliances.
尽管反种族主义工作的挑战通常是围绕白人及有色人种展开的，但在不同少数族裔群体之间建立同盟也存在重大挑战。本文描述了我们在一个社区组织中的经历，该组织旨在培训具有反种族主义文化敏感性的幼儿园至12年级教育工作者。作为在一群以黑人为主的有色人种培训师中担任亚美裔和美洲原住民培训师，我们描述了自己遭受相对边缘化的经历，以及我们（大多失败了）试图在组织内部推动变革以更包容非黑人有色人种/学生的观点、经历和需求的尝试。我们将这些经历的冲突置于种族等级制度、“分而治之策略”以及白人特权的维持等背景下来考量。我们思考了参与反种族主义教育的少数族裔如何能成为更好的同盟，以及组织如何能更好地营造有助于建立这些同盟的环境。
