> Intersectionality is pretty much incompatible with that sort of simplistic reasoning (e.g. "racism against whites isn't racism") you can see online lately. If that's the case, the intersectionality preached in the online public square is a fallen version. The internet can make any system of thought bend to simplistic reasoning. Here, they've done it by "intersectinally" dividing identity into several axes, with one pole "privileged/oppressor" (e.g. white, male) and the other pole "unprivileged/oppressed" (e.g. brown, female). Stuff like "racism against whites isn't racism" lives on the white/brown identity axis. I think the reason you see so much opprobrium directed specifically at "white males" nowadays is because of this kind of thinking.
