> Attitudes like this make me agree with the right-wingers who say that people who campaign against racism, sexism etc really just hate white men.
And what do you say about a person that ignores 90% of racism and sexism unless it harms white men?
The world is full of little biases. Ideally we'd get rid of all of them. But until someone invents a magic button we need to keep context in mind. Give charity to the people that have been mistreated and need charity, etc.
Do such people exist? I've never met anyone who ignores racism or sexism unless it harms white men.
And yes, the US Supreme Court has a habit of not applying the law as written, but that is itself rather controversial isn't it. Because the law doesn't say it's OK to be racist to white people, not even if the reasons seem well intentioned.
It looks like you've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle for a while now. That's an abuse of the site, and we ban accounts that do it (regardless of how correct their underlying points may be), so would you please not do that? The spirit of the site is intellectual curiosity, and while there's some overlap with political topics, the battle thing is not compatible.
