Thank you for writing this, Stephen. As Argumentative Penguin said, it’s always nice to see someone take a stand against identity politics on here.

I invite you and other Medium users to take a look at my most recent piece, “The Problem With ‘Equity.’” It goes into depth about how the concept of equity disregards the individual, which ties into the sort of submissiveness by white people to the narratives about privilege and oppression that you speak of.
