The people downvoting me must like people treating them like they’re helpless babies that need praised for their sexuality / skin color instead of praised for their hard work and good personality

Just because someone is white doesn’t mean they are part of a marginalized community — marginalization is shaped by power and systemic barriers, not just an individual identity. White individuals can be disabled, part of a low socioeconomic status, or an immigrant/refugee.

I was worried what I was saying would come off this way. I think they should celebrate their skin color and sexuality and shouldn’t be judged for it. But also shouldn’t be favored for it

Absolutely people should be proud of who they are, unless they’re a dick, and more than likely they have gone through more or different hardships because of who they are and it’s perfectly fine to be proud of getting through those as well. One problem I see is on a larger scale people are jerks and when people pick on other people for who they are the people being picked on do end up needing special protections until people stop being jerks to them.

On the contrary, we live in the most lgbt accepting society in all of human history

being black or gay has absolutely nothing do do with character. it’s probably easier to argue that they are worse character then a straight white person

I’ve always said I want to make a world where everyone can be accepted and loved! This has been my moral driver for more than a decade now (like 14-15 years). If we want change, we have to BE the change we wish to see. I hope, one day, we truly get there.

Those are both highly subjective “things”, but when it comes to genuine conversation over things like political and social matters, it’s usually the minority that lashes out (and rightly so, but hate doesn’t get us anywhere) first. I see people get downright nasty sometimes and it’s like, we’ve really lost our way bc the things that should be granted to us as human rights haven’t been. You get conservatives who want to exploit the working class and liberals who refuse to enshrine these rights

—all for the sake of money and power. The more we continue to uplift these inherently dangerous people (politicians), the less rights we’ll have. People see them as leaders when they’re the ones tearing us apart, and that’s wrong. Everyone should have equal access to everything, & I’m tired of people pretending that they disagree just bc they “worked harder” for it. I worked hard to get where I am, but I still struggle to get by—for food, rent, car repairs… What we’ve done is awful…

I’m not saying their identities shouldn’t be celebrated. I’m saying we shouldn’t put them on a pedestal and act like they’re perfect angels who are the best at everything in the world. It’s like over compensating and saying a black character is your favorite even though they suck just bc you don’t wanna look racist (or homophobic, etc). That’s what I was referring to

Bruh there’s been multiple examples said. I clearly made this post for a reason. Example: I have a lesbian friend who does exactly this. We watch a movie and she always picks the POC as her favorite every single time without fail. It’s not truly her favorite she just tries to hard to not be racist instead of genuinely finding a GOOD POC character to like. Or irl, we went to an amusement park and this big group of clearly LGBT friends were cutting in line, bumping into old people / people in-

-general, waving fans 🪭 around and not caring if that action was getting in other peoples space. And my friend just kept staring at them adoringly and kept complimenting them JUST bc they were LGBT. They clearly were not being kind and she would’ve been pissed if a straight, white man did any of that

Babying them as in infantilizing them. Acting like the only thing that makes them good is their skin color or sexuality instead of praising them for, say being a good person or talented or smart. She doesn’t care if they’re the next Hitler, if they’re LGBT or a POC then she defends them. I’m really not sure why you’re having such a hard time understanding. No one else had trouble

being ok with someone being an ass because they’re lgbt or poc is 1. not a widespread issue in this country 2. a personal flaw of your friend

Also, I’ve said multiple times if you’d quit being a dumbass trying to argue for the sake of arguing. I think these groups SHOULD have representation and SHOULD have days / months where they are celebrated. They deserve that. But we shouldn’t praise someone JUST for their skin color or sexuality. We should learn about what makes them a great person and praise them for that. Praise them for their choices, not for how they happened to be born

no one else had trouble because they mindlessly agreed dummy, i critically think. anyways can you give an example of this infantilization? because being ok with someone being rude isn’t infantilization it’s just being an ass.

You clearly don’t critically think or you could’ve seen the examples already given to you instead of whining to me for one and then getting mad when you got it. You can’t ask to have your point disproven and then get mad when it’s disproven. I’ve given multiple examples of infantilization so why don’t you be a critical thinker and figure it out.

Last thing I’m saying to you because you clearly don’t wanna hear what I’m saying, you just wanna argue. I wasn’t saying either example I gave was the next Hitler.

This is such an insane, overly wrought and overly generalized statement. No, gay people and people of color aren’t any more likely to have good character than anyone else… Even the reasoning you gave is usually cited as an explanation for the OPPOSITE result if we’re looking at statistics. Just judge people individually and stop virtue signaling.
