You're ignoring specifics by making a dismissive general point. There is a specific thing happening right now that has the goal of eliminating a kind of person by preventing them from existing. That's different than the misogyny of Roe v Wade or the dehumanizing capitalism of job-based health care.

I have a parent who transitioned and has received threats.

I have an Asian friend that’s been attacked by MAGA nutters who don’t want Asians to exist.

I had a Jewish mentor in physics in college who had Nazi flags left on her office door.

I am a white guy whose been followed and taunted by Hispanics saying white people should be eradicated.

While I look like a white guy, my paternal heritage includes Native American; my grandma was 100% Ojibwa.

I know the issue first hand. Threats of eradicating each other over biases are a problem among the species, and they happen to racial and ethnic minorities every damn day somewhere on the world. So sick of people with blinders on thinking their problem is unique.

Stfu; so tired of being told by strangers on the internet I don’t know what I’m fucking talking about.
