As a part of a minority, I heavily disagree. The new push for diversity create self doubt. am I really achieving on merit, or just the result of this new social justice movement? I tend to think the people of the left are politicians. They haven’t done much to help me as a student, business owner, or parent. Rather, they just want me to be a victim, someone who they can rely upon to keep themselves employed.

Yep. You know the trick of surviving 10+ years in a corporate managerial position? You pick your subordinates out of slightly underqualified mediocrities. Not only they will be completely helpless without you (let alone, challenge your position), but they will also be infinitely loyal to you, as they won't get another chance under anyone else.

Well, that kind of people now want to run our entire society this way. They want you to be that loyal mediocrity, infinitely thankful for the handout, and supporting their cause without questioning.

Believe me, it's a road to nowhere. Corporate mediocrities end up taking antidepressants for life, or killing themselves after the boss gets fired and they have zero shot at paying that mortgage. The life of self-improvement, hard work and achievement is 1000x more rewarding and I'm glad more people are starting to realize that.

We need more people like you speaking up though. Because virtually every criticism from outside the minorities is now almost unconditionally labeled racist.

>mostly just want people to have the same access to schools that whites have had for decades.

I would disagree with that. Kids from the families with inherited wealth always enjoyed their hilltop mansions, gated communities, private schools and Ivy League admissions by donation. And they continue doing that, they're above the rules. Nobody is going to put a low barrier social housing in their backyard, or force their kids to network with us, the plebs.

It's the middle class that made their own wealth is under attack now. Doctors, engineers, small business founders. Apparently, we can't have in a community with no used needles near the playgrounds. Because poor homeless. I can't apparently spend time teaching my pre-school kids to read and to write, so once they go to school, they can focus on more advanced stuff with other like minded kids. For the sake of social justice, the class has to be diluted by a few troublemakers whos parents didn't care. But, of course, not the class where the Governor's kids go.

Mind you, nobody will mind if you go and help the affected people directly. Go offer free counseling to homeless. Go teach Python to kids from poor families. Go do lemonade stand projects with underrepresented minorities. But do it in your own free time and at your own expense. I am pretty certain, many reasonable people will follow, since our society generally values being generous and positive. Except that's not what the activists are doing. They don't want to solve the problem in their free time, they want others to somehow find time and solve the problem for them.

>See, e.g. Glen Beck and Tucker Carlson urging their followers to doxx and threaten their critics.

I've seen the piece from Tucker Carlson. NYT journalists threatened to publish his home address. He stated that it already happened before, leading to threats to his family, and said that if they do it again, he will retaliate. He didn't mention any personal details there, so the NYT pulled back and they've reached a stalemate.

>See, for example, Hollywood, the NBA, the music industry, etc.

Hollywood has deteriorated to releasing heavily engineered comic book films. The art aspect is gone, the creativity is gone, many genres like parody/comedy are gone. Mainstream music isn't at it's peak either. It's pretty consistent with the left-leaning big tech, that focuses on making people replaceable drones following procedures, because they have much less bargaining power this way. I am not into sports, so no clue on NBA/NFL.
