| So I think Sam lacks empathy... But the unreasonable people saying "gay people are evil" are not even pretending to be joking. They have killed.

Sam is both gay and jewish...

| Replace the word "gay" in Sam's essay with "white" or whatever group you belong to. How does that make you feel? Would you want to work with that person?

Harvey Weinstein is Jewish. Kevin Spacey is gay. Being X doesn't mean you automatically have empathy for Y. Or even X.

As for the second part, valley employees have gotten in trouble for criticizing "white". Wasn't there an outrage over Github?
