Except if they're a leftist, liberal type, of course. Or even an adherent of a "preferred" or "protected" religion. These get to say racist, sexist, homophobic things all day long, and none of their fellow activists would bat an eye.

To your point, the left's treatment of Trudeau's blackface is an interesting case study.

The left was pretty damn upset about the blackface scandal.

The Liberals are a _centrist_ party, not a leftist one. That's the NDP.

Sure, once you classify anyone who opposes, for e.g. illegal immigration, as a racist, everyone is a racist.
