LOL. Created by @ditchthelabel. Creates a diagram of identitarian labels.

So much wrong with this. Muslim is a higher axis of oppression than Jew. Somebody skipped over some significant moments in 20th century history. I guess that's how you end up with Nazi=Trump supporter.

And Black is a higher axis of oppression than Native American. I guess this creator thinks the entire world is like the U.S. Here in Canada, we never had institutionalized slavery or Jim Crow laws. We did have systemic human rights violations against Native Americans, culminating in the Sixties Scoop and the abusive residential school system. Critical race theory assumes that the social conditions of the U.S. are an intrinsic reality everywhere.

British comedian David Baddiel recently wrote a book called Jews Don't Count exploring the phenomenon of Jews now basically being considered 'white' and therefore immune to hate crimes etc.

I'm not Jewish though I have Jewish relatives via my Dad's 2nd marriage and the rising antisemitism on the left worries me.

Yeah, and Asians were the 'white-adjacent model minority' until 5 minutes ago, and now everything is about anti-Asian hate crimes. Make it make sense.

Some people think fair-skinned Koreans can't be considered Asian because they're "not Asian enough".

Ah, I saw that on a list of books that the director Edgar Wright was recommending.

Yupppp. Canadian progressives simply copy + paste American arguments into Canada even when they don't make sense. These people literally just echo talking points is exhausting.
