Nicely put, and that just about matches my world view. Good to know that we agree.
I only take offense with people who seem to always single out a specific group. I think it's a cop out. Like in this thread for example, it sure is convenient to shift the blame to only Jewish women because white women are 50% of whites, while Jewish women are 0% of whites. So hey, now it's no longer "your" problem.
...not that it was "your" problem in the first place: that's a trap. It's just the cancer of identity politics that makes people reflexively protect their in-group instead of singling out the individuals who are destroying their culture, including these from said in-group. Now sure, if we take this invidiualistic approach too far and ignore statistics about populations, than that's even more harmful. Just... let's try and find some happy medium.
