The youtube algorithm suggested this to me the other day, posting it here because it's pretty relevant.

When Wokes and Racists actually agree on everything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ev373c7wSRg

Except it doesnt even resemble what the left believes

this is a good breakdown https://youtu.be/m0ZDHgD9084?t=950

Thanks for the reasoned alternative perspective. He misses the whole point of the video though, which is:

Emphasizing race as the most important determinant of an individual is regressive, not progressive.

It's possible for a reactionary agenda to fall prey to the errors of its foe, and that's exactly what's happening with anti-racism today.

The only way to move forward is to tackle racism with explicitly non-racist policies, not anti-racist ones.

Thats true, which is why most of the left has adopted intersectionality, which says an individual is the sum total of their experiences, rather than this or that identity

This guy just plays further into the tropes that the original video was mocking.

In what way?

Doubling down on the idea that both racists and wokists center everything around race and are unable to think about people as individuals outside of shallow racial generalizations.
