You’re just arguing that dominant groups should never face criticism or contend with outside perspectives?

Also, if an outside group wants to participate in an activity then they should do it separately?


No, not even remotely what I'm saying. People of all cultures are free to work/play wherever they want; but the onus is on them to partly or fully assimilate. Especially if they're joining a functioning team.

The issue is this moral imperative to force team cultures to bend over backward at the whims of the new member. It is entitled and hypocritical, because the "straight white male" teams/groups/corporations are subject to encroachment while all other groups are allowed exclusive safe spaces where they are allowed to fully dictate cultural norms.

This social trajectory is not sustainable, and is overtly, explicitly systemically racist/sexist.


So what you’re saying is that minority groups must accede to the demands of the majority without question or criticism?


No, I'm saying that there is a limit to the degree of accomodation they should expect from groups that they join, and have no right to demand special treatment and cultural change. But in the modern West this freedom only applies to female and/or minority groups. The "majority" is not allowed to maintain or practice it's culture. It's a bigoted double standard.


And all of this butthurt anger because an immigrant dared to describe his decades long legal immigration process.

How dare this immigrant talk about his never ending struggle.

Shut up and put up or else white man's feelings are hurt. And don't call me a bigot either.


Who gets to decide the limit to what the minority group asks for?
