Your probably right. Looking back at #metoo from the last several years, I was surprised that it didn't take a hard anti-sematic spin in a lot of discussion circles. The media writers I get but the social media communities and other forums? But then looking who was blamed in all the "how men can do better" articles that came out at the time.
It's funny how it's racist to hold a smaller subgroup accountable for the actions of a handful of its members, but it suddenly becomes okay to hold a much broader group responsible for those same actions.
For example, a powerful Jewish man in Hollywood gets exposed for taking advantage of young actresses. The narrative that men as a whole are responsible for this behavior is a-okay doubleplus good and politically correct, but if you were to try to blame specifically Jewish men for the actions of this man it would be considered racist and anti-semitic.
Likewise, if 52% of violent crime in this country is caused by a particular ethnic group that makes up 13% of the population, it's perfectly okay to push a narrative that men as a whole are violent, but racist to say that men of that ethnic group specifically are violent.
How is it less discriminatory and prejudicial to hold a larger group responsible for the actions of one of its subgroups?
True, the progressive stack is both a dividing line on accountability and a pass to oppress others. A lot of people use racism as a deflection for their activities, particularly criminal activities and criminal enterprise, which have a tribal element to them, basically a form of vetting for whose allowed in what circle, like ethnic communities and organized crime.
