Nothing the left hates more than someone who highlights the glaring holes in their favorite narratives. Especially when it's a member of an "oppressed" group doing the highlighting. It just drives them completely off the rails.

People who have no good argument resort to censorship and threats.

I think it's less left vs right and more insane troglodytes fucking shit up. That said, there's definitely this ideal on the left that everyone must ascribe to the "truth" and that anyone who doesn't is some sort of race traitor, as if a race is a monolith of people who think all exactly the same.

The right has a similar mindset with apostasy but tends to lack the race traitor aspect in my opinion, they're more focused on the ideal of culture as a transcendental property largely divorced from ones ancestry.

One critique I'll make is that there's a difference between say , "hate based" racism, and love based racism, the bigotry of soft expectations as it were, pure hate based racism, is pretty universally condemned in society apart from some isolated pockets, but most people seem to hold to an idea that certain racial groups are inferior as is betrayed by their actions towards them even if they'll disagree with the statement outright.

they had to reverse course hard when it was pointed out that (unsurprisingly since they're ~70% of the country) police killed more whites than AAs; nor could they go to death rates (since that'd mean Black and White deaths by police would have to be completely ignored in favor of Native ones, THEN we were "allowed" to talk about the less-urgent crises)

If you adjust for various factors as well you'll find that most of the differences are more aligned along class differences based on income and location rather than race, it's just the race distinctions are disproportionately weighted towards certain classes.

When traveling even get the same, have white people in non-white countries whining about getting stopped and searched by the cops as racism, well yeah like obviously you aren't a local sure but I'm guessing you're stopped more because you are dressed like a stoner and they suspect you've got ganja, try shaving getting a haircut and wearing a three piece suit and they'll probably ignore the fuck out of you.
