So what you're saying here is that helping minorities and making them equal members of society is a political antipattern if opponents of civil rights don't like when you do it? I don't see how that's an antipattern. If that's what you mean, it's basically just saying "A healthy political landscape is one where civil rights are never granted to anyone," which doesn't sound healthy at all.
As a side note, I don't think there are very many people who are unaware that being intolerant of bigotry is exclusionary toward overt bigots. Can you give an example of someone you think has this attitude but doesn't realize that it excludes the people they would consider bigots?
- nick__m 5y agoIn Québec, where I live, a university published a job posting that explicitly excluded white males for a research chair on marine biology[1]. Affirmative action like that job posting from ULaval is not what I consider "helping minorities and making them equal members of society". I am sure that this was the kind of regressive left da39a3ee was taking about. 1) https://www.academica.ca/top-ten/qc-politicians-criticize-laval-job-posting-excludes-white-men https://www.academica.ca/top-ten/qc-politicians-criticize-la...
- da39a3ee 5y agoOK, so you define someone who disagrees with identity politics as a "bigot"? I think that says all about you that we need to know.
