Whether they do so to appeal to the audience, and whether they actually are, are two entirely separate issues.

Every year we're treated to this 'war on halloween' or 'war on xmas' kind of nonsense. It's dingo's kidneys all the way down. Who are these people telling us we can't have fun, and then oppressing us by enforcing those strictures? Go on, point them out to me, and then you can hold my coat while I 'reason' with them.

Well, look at it the way they do : they used to be the ruling class, and to have everything go their way, now, they are being told they are just the average joe, that everybody now has the rights and prerogatives they used to keep for themselves... tell me you would not feel oppressed if that happened to you.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't because I can tell the difference between being oppressed and not being allowed to oppress someone else...

well, I'm sure the nobles the sans culotte dragged to the guillotine felt oppressed, and I think the WASP in the US feel the same way.

Well, fortunately, no one's looking to decapitate WASPs. We just want them to bake the damn gay wedding cakes and shoot fewer black people...

In today's "racism is very unpopular in America" news:

'Shocked would be an understatement': Woman admits to hitting 14-year-old because of race
https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story ... 708960001/
Nicole Marie Poole Franklin, 42, is charged with attempted murder for allegedly running down a 14-year-old on Dec. 9 as the girl walked to Indian Hills Junior High School, Clive police say. The Des Moines woman is being held at the Polk County Jail.
Franklin is accused of driving her 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee off the roadway in the 9200 block of Indian Hills Drive at Indian Hills Junior High School onto a sidewalk where the victim was walking at about 5 p.m. Dec. 9, according to a criminal complaint. There is no evidence the act was premediated at this time, Venema said.
Franklin admitted to police Thursday that she hit the girl because the victim was "a Mexican." Franklin had been in custody since the West Des Moines arrest.
