I would agree if this were a unique experience, but this is a mentality held by a large section of the population. It is systemic.
- pjmorris 7y agoIs there a society in the world where self-centeredness is not common? What do you mean by systemic?
- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoIt is systemic, and the promotion of identity activism at the expense of economic activism has done a lot to cause it. Realistically, "corporate diversity" usually means "we have diverse kinds of privileged middle class people in our offices." E.g. a female CEO is considered a necessary diversity win, but generally no one cares if the food servers and cleaners - most of whom usually happen to be female too - are treated with respect and decency. Does Google - or any other FANG - actively and practically support anti-poverty activism and awareness to anything like the same extent they support a relatively safe form of activism like LGBT pride?
- kiliantics 7y agoYes, you don't see people with this attitude towards the HK protest. There is a completely different standard when it comes to issues of race in the US.
