I was rather assuming that would be the case as regards debunkingwhite, because I would not expect them to be hypocritical, and there are plenty of possible solutions if people pull together and agree on them.
However, this raises an interesting theoretical question. What if you had asked and the answer had been no? What if you met a group whose response was that they had enough problems already and didn't want to deal with the extra burden of coping with the problems caused by an ally? You say that people don't get to be Xist while fighting Yism, but what if they want to be? Does that automatically negate their cause for you? Are you only supportive of social justice for people who are themselves trying to be inclusive - or do bigots also get your support if they are suffering inequality? (I'm not going to spell out any examples, because I don't want to cause a diversionary row about any specific cases, but I'm sure a little thought on anyone's part will bring a few readily to mind.)
