I've had a thought on which I want more opinions:
I was born in the 1990s when there was still this massive push for the idea that everyone is equal, no matter sex or ethnicity.
Starting in the 2010s there was a shift away from equality, and over towards identity politics. It seemed as if overnight we went from treating everyone as equals to only focusing on identity.
There was a reddit post where someone shared they are White, and have an adopted sister who is Black. They were raised together from young ages, and their parents treated them equally.
When sister reached the age of 18, she got a DNA test to find her birth family, and rapidly abandoned the family that raised her. Now as an adult, she hates the family that raised her because they stole her away from her Black parents, stole her Black identity away from her, raised her White, etc.
The comments were full of commenters expressing hatred for interracial adoptions, people must remain in their respective cultures, and treating people of different races as equals is actually exetremely racist because racial identities must be put upfront & center!
