"Tone policing is one of many ways that dominant culture 'polices' people of color. It is often used \u2013 whether subconsciously or intentionally \u2013 to put this person 'back in their place.' It doesn\u2019t just attempt to discredit what the person is saying. It implies that they are not worthy of the time and attention until they play by the rules of the oppressor. And these rules are rooted in sexist and racist ideals of how marginalized people are 'supposed to act' in society today.
