While some of these observations are literally true to the first approximation, I'll just respond by pointing out that we wouldn't be talking about this were it not for the unthinkable suffering that really did take place (and arguably continues in some ways).
There are definitely some interesting sociological questions about how the power is manifesting, but I emphatically disagree with the proposition that the overreaction of "cancel culture" does not have as its root cause the systematic, historical oppression of minorities. To just make the (perhaps correct) observation that a significant fraction of the loudest voices are not suffering is to ignore how we got here.
