So, when did white feminists get cooties?

I have, like, four tabs open as a result of Googling "white feminism," so research is in progress, but I'm wondering if anyone on my flist can explain in small words and short sentences when white (sometimes "liberal" is thrown in) feminists became problematic

White feminism is feminism that ignores, negates or excludes how aspects of race intersect with sexism for women of color and the issues that those individuals experience due to that.

That nicely sums up what I've been reading, thanks.
