I don’t necessarily think this is malicious. When everyone acts like they don’t hear people of color, Hasan using his platform to bring those experiences to a wider audience seems like a good thing. Are we sure he didn’t hear these experiences from others and choose to spread them so more people can get the message?

I don’t think one should get credit for broadcasting the under-listened-to stories of others, while not clearly stating that is what one is doing until called out.
