The “White Women for Kamala” TikToker who went viral for her condescending tone also gave advice on how to talk to “bigoted family members.”
Arielle Fodor, a teacher turned TikTok influencer with more than 1.3 million followers, was one of thousands of people who participated in a Zoom meeting last week titled “White Women: Answer the Call” to rally support for Kamala Harris. Fodor, known as Ms. Frazzled, regularly creates content in which she uses what she describes as a “teacher voice,” speaking as if she were addressing children while correcting people about things like “mansplaining.”
While his comments on how to address race were the highlights, Fodor also discussed how to discuss politics with friends and family.

“Often, being an ally means being willing to be uncomfortable, and no one is more uncomfortable than someone who is talking to their bigoted family members. So yeah, let's address the elephant in the room. No pun intended, understand?” Fodor said.

She continued: “Over half the people, over half of white people or almost half of white people voted for Donald Trump both times he ran for president. So you know someone you need to talk to. Do it. Maybe don't say 'I get it, I get it' or 'catch a bubble' like I do in my skits. We can save that for when we're just among friends. But trust me, they don't like it, and it's not going to help you persuade them.”
Fodor also encouraged other attendees not to lose hope or become discouraged in their efforts.
“Research tells us that personal connections between friends or family can be more persuasive than any online debate with a troll or even an ad posted by a candidate,” Fodor said. “So remember I said you're all influencers. But if Kamala can use Brat, I can say, 'Get out of the grass, folks. Get off the internet because by talking to your families, friends, and community members, you can inspire new change.'”

She posted the comments on her TikTok account on Monday, calling them “the speech that launched a million haters.”
“I had the opportunity to share a message with [White] “Women in an affinity space (Google it!) who don't typically see my content. My message was shared a little more widely than I expected… Here's what I said at my first public speaking event,” Fodor wrote.
During her remarks, Fodor argued that white women should not correct women of other races.

“Don't do it for yourself. As white women, we have to use our privilege to make positive changes,” she said. “If you find yourself speaking over BIPOC people or on their behalf, [Black, Indigenous, and other people of color] individuals or, God forbid, correct them, we can simply take a breath and instead put our ears to the ground.”
