This is spot on:
Under DEI, one’s degree of oppression is determined based upon where one resides on a so-called intersectional pyramid of oppression where whites, Jews, and Asians are deemed oppressors, and a subset of people of color, LGBTQ people, and/or women are deemed to be oppressed. Under this ideology which is the philosophical underpinning of DEI as advanced by Ibram X. Kendi and others, one is either an anti-racist or a racist. There is no such thing as being “not racist.”

A lot of people around here won’t like reading it, but this is the core of the modern left’s ideology: “oppressors” vs. “the oppressed”. It’s a convenient way to neatly put people in boxes, create simple political messaging, and drive the correct high-energy perpetual emotional responses they need to keep the movement (and grift)going.

It doesn’t matter if your parents or grandparents immigrated with less than nothing: if you’re white, you’re the problem. Their “logic” also forces them to pretzelize their thinking with concepts of “multiracial whiteness” so they can lump da Jooz in with the oppressors. Asians, too.
