The ace community can be racist. One Black woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told me about an AVEN thread a few years ago that discussed whether an upcoming conference should include a safe space for aces of color. Specifically, it let white aces respond to the question too, and some said no because the safe space would break up the community. When this woman protested that white people should not be deciding on this question, others accused her of being hostile and divisive.
