You are asking why minority groups don't speak against dominantly rich, white and male majority?
- jasode 5y ago>You are asking why minority groups don't speak against dominantly rich, white and male majority? No. You've lost the train of conversation being developed in the replies. To paraphrase gp, he was saying : "So why don't people in those [minority] groups speak out against [others in their minority group with extreme views]?" See that context of minority identity group criticizing their own group from the prior comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27401731 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27401731
- smt87 5y agoGenerally these activists are 'second tier' who want to usurp the perceived dominant rich white male. So they're usually rich white but female, rich male but Jewish, white male but unsuccessful, etc, who feel they deserve the easy success the rich white male has. They project those feelings of failure onto the marginalized groups they mean to represent. The minority groups often have totally different values then the activists ( who share the dominant value system and consider themselves and the minorities they represent the losers of that system ).
