the absolute fair thing for LW to say to her son is "well, that sucks that she doesn't understand you. Given that in a northeast college town it's probably almost impossible to find a therapist at all, and Black or POC therapists all have waiting lists that stretch to Pluto and back, what's your interim plan? What can I do to help you find a Black therapist taking new patients? In the interim, is it worth having this conversation with your therapist? Have you asked at the Black students' resource center on campus?" &cetera &cetera.
"I’m a white woman and I understand his challenges, so I don’t think that’s a fair reason", on the other hand, sounds like a parody, even though I know people are really like this.
