I can't stress enough that this behavior—the gaslighting, the derailing conversations, being pedantic on irrelevant specifics, making it about yourself, placing the blame squarely on the messenger—this is how white supremacy is upheld.
It's not a group of guys in white robes in the streets. It's not the trolls using racial slurs. It's the everyday people who, when presented with a fixable problem, convinces themselves it's not a problem at all.
This is it. It's really that simple and boring.
