Have you seen progressive people be discriminatory either intentionally or unintentionally and if so in what way? (lemmy.world)

Edit: I didn't actually think I'd need to put this here but unfortunately I think those kinds of people are here

Bigots are not welcome on my post and they are certainly not welcome on my post to co-opt it to spread bigotry

I am progressive myself and support human rights and LGBTQ+ people

If they turn it in to a white genocide problem, then you already have your answer: They don't care about minorities.

    What does minorities have to do with this?

    Armenian's were a majority. The Fur people of Darfur are a majority in their region. Palestinians are a majority.

    Genocide is a method often used in converting a majority to a minority.

    I agree with your endpoint that those people don't care, but I think if you told someone like that that they don't care about minorities I think you would be confirming their thoughts not convincing them away from it.

    No shit. Nowhere did I say you'd convince a bigot with these arguments, especially bigots as committed to the bit as Israelis...

    BTW, if you think Palestinians are a majority in relation to Israel and the other nations involved in that conflict, ESPECIALLY in power, then you are only exemplifying your lack of understanding of how the real world works.

    By world population, whites ARE a minority.
