Some also called out Vance's comment as an attempt to stoke white resentment. One person tweeted, "Literally never heard of a white person apologizing for being white. I have seen a bunch of racist white people who should apologize for being racists but that wouldn't get you the applause you crave from that crowd."

And Journalist Brian Allen wrote, "This isn’t about dignity or equality. It’s grievance politics dressed up as liberation and it tells you exactly who they think has been 'wronged,' and who they’re trying to mobilize."
