Sorry if this isn’t a very direct response. Much shit-talked..
I witness privilege, sexism, some racism. Definitely some ignorance of culture. Clearly I realise everyone has a different experience but I see prejudice in all sorts of directions in ordinary, mundane situations. I’m really not sure there are special groups. The data doesn’t hold up, maybe it too difficult to measure? Well, maybe ... but do you think you think that young ppl, old ppl, ugly, or short people, those with regional accents or the millions without a fixed address, a parental safety net, the undereducated, those permanently injured or with medical conditions, the unemployed, young mothers etc find no prejudice?
I’m not sure it’s actually very important but if you believe that ‘inverse racism’ is impossible (an illogical position) then the burden of proof is with you. IMHO you’re a prick for even taking the stance. Humans seem to find all the reasons to be dicks.
If you choose on balance to ignore certain prejudice then fine, but that’s some ideological, intersectional shit. You should be comfortable-with and honest-about that. I‘m really not into it.
