Wrong my issue is with the recent liberal trend that a humans race, creed, sexual orientation, religious preference, outward appearance, etc are an individuals defining characteristic. And if you don't conform to the bucket they want to place you based on that identity they have created for you that you will be cancelled. It's extremely polarizing and destabilizing to society.

You'd have a point if the president wasn't trying to cancel kneeling NFL players. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/amp/american-football/44910040 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/sport/amp/american-...

These things are literally things which define you as a person, though. Of course there's more, but what makes you think that these things don't define a person? I also don't get the "You have to fit in a bucket" theory. What's an example you've experienced?

  I guess the point is that a person should not be discriminated based on things they don't control, like race, sex, gender etc. But the trend being described here is exactly that. Affirmative action, curtailment of free speech etc. Even many diversity initiatives. It doesn't matter if it discriminates positively, contrary to society's past regressive discrimination. This positive discrimination goes against liberal principles.

  >>>I also don't get the "You have to fit in a bucket" theory. What's an example you've experienced? Straight from the mouth of Joe Biden: "If you don't know whether to vote for me or Trump you ain't black." Yeah, because a near-80yo white man is obviously the final arbiter of my ethnic identity if I don't conform to his politics.

I'm not very keen on calling that "liberal". For one, it goes against the very definition of liberalism, which covers equality and liberty. No individual should be judged based on factors they don't control. A liberal would not oppose free speech. But the main reason I disagree with this "liberal trend", which I'd call "leftist trend", is that I disagree with them and identify as a liberal.
