It's one thing when an issue like that is part of a plotline, like a pregnant character considering an abortion and seeking advice. But when it's just an opportunity for the author to "make a point", it's like being beaten over the head with a club, even if you agree with the issue in everyday life.

I read a fic like that, where a non-white canon character began lecturing a white canon character about her white privilege. Later the fic has the white character witnessing overt racism toward another non-white character and then there's this long narrative about how the non-white character was right about white privilege. I'm black and I've definitely had to deal with racism, but I felt it didn't work for that particular fic because is was really forced and took away from the main plot, which was already dragged out enough.
