I find this to be one of the most baffling elements of so-called social activists who argue that we should strive for a society that holds everyone to the same standard regardless of sex/color but will easily point out a white male as a negative connotation.
I am 25 years old and I tend to meet people around that age who will make comments saying things like "Of course a white male would say this" - ranging from social media platforms to even news outlets.
Most of all I find it ultimately cowardly, the people who will demote a person if they are a white male only do so because the majority of their group believes that it is appropriate. These are the SAME exact type of people who would have held discriminatory attitudes in the past; the very people they claim they are in opposition of.
