I think what makes the progressive blend of discrimination so much worse is that they do what they do in the name of not being discriminatory. It's just so disgusting to me to call yourself "antiracist" and then quite literally discriminate based on race. It also just seems like a massive waste of effort - what does this accomplish? How does it help anyone?
- zozbot234 4y agoBecause it's not real antiracism. True "progressives" have practically never cared about marginalized races by and large, that sort of concern has most frequently been either religious or (quite rarely) broadly humanitarian/humanist in nature. The only concern of political radicals is power itself.
- ajmurmann 4y agoI have similar struggles with affirmative action as well. At least I understand the logic there that creating critical mass of URMs will make things for them more comfortable. The focus on rave leaves a bitter taste in my mouth though, but I also understand that there are issues with the,ore intuitive to me, goal of going straight to colorblindness.

Interestingly enough, the concept of anti-racist (despite the way it sounds) is racism by definition. I think some people use a different definition of racism to make this not be the case, but if you list out "anti-racist" policies you'll see they all contain racial discrimination in them.
