Fatigue
All of this has combined to play into other cultural phenomena now being openly talked about: the so-called "black fatigue" and a similar, as-yet-unnamed, queer fatigue.
People are done with the victimhood claims, and the bad behavior that gets enabled and excused by references to unearned victimhood. People claim victimhood while having tantrums, and the increasingly outrageous behavior by black teens on the streets is fueled by the rhetoric.
Don't like shoplifting? You're a white supremacist. Teen takeovers get you down? You want to lynch people. Don't want to kowtow to the pronoun police? You support "genocide" and want to "erase" people.
A lot of people are over it. The case for changing attitudes and practices regarding race and gender—and it is a great case—is that people should be judged by how they act, not what group they happen to belong to. Skin color or sexual preferences are not the core of one's being, or rather the "content of their character," right?
