Looking for a quantitative measure for the White Savior Complex. Anyone have ideas? Working on creating one if I can’t find one, and so far I have items from APOS-2 for awareness of racism, and the white guilt subscale from PCRW. Lmk your thoughts!

Now is a good time as any to say DON’T TRAVEL TO HAWAI‘I or plan a vacation this summer!! Everyone is being asked to voluntarily conserve 10% water because the Navy poisoned our aquifer with JET FUEL. And yet water usage is still going up slightly.
