on the subject of SJWs
The reason I hate a certain type of vocal "liberal" best termed a Social Justice Warrior (or SJW for short) is this: they seem to believe that every racial minority or woman has or should have the same opinion, and that anyone who has different opinions must be suffering from internalized racism or internalized misogyny. It's patronizing and self-righteous and just plain unintelligent.
I was a college freshman in 2003 and although at the time I was idealistic and politically naive like most college freshmen, the things fellow liberals said about Condoleezza Rice infuriated me. Here was a woman with a doctorate in political science and decades of experience in her field, and every stupid little white suburban kid now learning the concept of social justice felt free to dismiss her because a black woman should only have the political views their professor told them black people had. It wasn't enough to disagree with her or think that she was wrong, like they did with white male politicians, they had to judge her a "traitor" too, as if she owed them something by virtue of her genitals and skin color.
tl;dr version: I think SJWs are more racist and sexist than any redneck I've ever met and more dangerous because they can't see their own prejudices.
