StupIDPol: A based critique of essentialism

A federated homage to the subreddit of the same name. The original idea is a marxist take on identity politics and the stupidity inherent in it, but we're fresh out of marxists to run this joint.

Until any marxists step forward to take over, this is a place to post well-tempered stories and commentary about the bonkers world of identity politics.

We got rules, so learn 'em:

I don't understand microagressions, I don't understand how telling someone "the most qualified person should get the job" is racist.

I think everything in life could be considered and twisted to be racist if viewed through a racist lens which is what these researchers are doing.

If anything, what's racist is the attitude the researches are showing. Implying a certain person isn't as good as others at something and thus needs assistance, all because of some ethnical characteristics. Uhm... do we have a name for that?
