What does identity politics have to do with human rights, and why does one preclude the other? Your statement makes it out to seem that you simply don't like what you consider "identity politics" and wanted to bring that into the discussion, regardless of how irrelevant it is.

You're being uncharitable in your reading.

GP is rightfully pointing out that political discourse is far often centered on identity politics to the exclusion of more important topics such as human rights.

No one is saying that one precludes the other except you.

Like someone else said, which rights are being displaced by "identity" politics? Once again, this is nothing but white anxiety about the public discourse concerning race. Nothing more.
