Unfortunately a certain segment of people reject the agency of individuals, and see things only in terms of "identity". If someone who is considered part of a "marginalized" group commits a crime, this segment of the population doesn't put the responsibility for the crime on the individual, but on social and historical grievances suffered by whatever "marginalized" demographic the criminal has been arbitrarily assigned. Ironically (but unsurprisingly) it is is lost on this segment that it is incredibly demeaning to treat people like they have no agency or autonomy, and are simply agents of their environment.
