The QUT student ' s crime was not that he was racist . It was that he was not of a favoured minority group i . e . he was a white male and I am guessing heterosexual who dared question identity politics and its outcomes racist computer lab . Political correctness and identity politics is a religion , and the likes of Gillian Triggs and Terri Butler are the religious policehigh priests . White heterosexual males are not allowed to be victims . The left depends on identity politics as a political strategy assemble enough minority groups to create a majority of minorities that they can ' defend '. This stuff is divisive and dangerous because it risks a backlash of which Trump and the altright could be a taste of things to come . In the civil rights era of the 50 s and 60 s it was a battle for racial blindness in the eyes of the law and now the left battles to emphasise different racialgender groups .
