Critical race theory is the idea that since the intersection of two races is patriarchal, patriarchy must be the unit-of-race.
Critical race theory is a reference to modernism-in-retrospect, and it argues that patriarchal units constitute race.
Critical race theory is the first example of intermodernism.
It leaves open the question of what the unit-of-patriarchy is.

1: A statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional expression of disapproval of someone or something based on perceived faults or mistakes.
2: Criticising someone by using a different person as an example. Not necessarily intentional.
3: Intentionally criticising a person covertly, in an easily deniable way, as the actual subject being criticized is not referenced directly, but is only hinted at through situational context. A technique sometimes used in "gaslighting".

"My mother's story about a former friend was a pretext to micro-critize my life's choices."
"He made a micro-criticism when he said to me that he hates that other person's pants, while I was wearing the same kind.
"When I confronted her for insinuating I was fat, she got defensive and said I misunderstood, she was talking about other people, not me. I felt bad for getting mad, but we were talking about me in the first place. Was it a micro-criticism, or am I overly sensitive?"

Get the micro-criticismmug. The most misunderstood theory on this planet. Period.
This theory was only meant to be used and understood in an academic context, but I guess some people decided it would be "cool" to use in mainstream discourse (i.e. social media). Thus, the misunderstanding begins.
In all seriousness, for someone to understand this theory, you would need to understand what "critical theory" is first. I am specifically referring to the philosophical theory that Adorno & Horkheimer invented, which is basically a heated critique on mass-produced culture.
If one does not understand the tenets to this theory, then one should not voice their uninformed opinions on said theory.
Of course, perhaps the fault lies more in the people who decided to abuse this term. And in that case, I understand you 100%, but at the same time it's still unfair to dismiss it as BS.
