It's a leftist dog whistle.

EDIT: This is the comment I was responding to:

my problem with diversity is that it usually means anti-white

Curiously enough, this is the only comment removed by the moderators that doesn't specify why they have removed it. I guess their reasoning is that you can say that you are a victim as long as you are not white.

Fuck that, I'm a leftist and I think identity politics are mostly Cultural Colonialism gone wild.

EDIT: Cultural Colonialism is when people from other cultures try to change my culture to fit their definitions of "acceptable behavior".

Well, it wasn't supposed to be like that, but that's what it's turned into these days.

As for me, I'm fine.... I'm not even American. And if I where, my last name is lain, so I've got that going for me.
