Racism is nothing more or less than Race Realism. And how could that be wrong?

You can only really understand these issues in the context they were started. Every single thing that has fairness or equality at its core is the result of the Frankfurt School. I'm talking, of course, about Cultural Marxism.

And what the Cultural Marxists want is power. The push for equality is ultimately a grab for power. The unavoidable consequence being that, ironically, what is supposed to be about equality actually becomes one person forcing their will upon others. This is of course how communism played out, resulting in 100+ million dead, so far.

So when it results in the opposite of what was intended -- such as the example OP gives -- this is no surprise. Because the undertaking is morally bankrupt and corrupt, no matter how honest and altruistic the participants intend to be.

On that note the whole Climate Crisis is the same deal. It's different from Cultural Marxism in that it's using science for its justification, but otherwise it's just a power grab working towards subjugating the populace. The cult of Climate Change has twisted and manipulated the scientific process to serve their purpose, ironically making it the opposite of science. Otherwise the so-called climate crusaders would lose all support faster than you can stridently scold "How dare you". Because there is no climate crisis.

Commie bastards who would rather see you dead than allow you to object to them imposing their will upon you are very real, however.
