It would have tasted better if it were refermented with moldy lemon . <| sep |> Identity politics is the truly ridiculous idea that you can fight racism by defining people solely by their race , or sexism by defining people solely by their gender . It ' s the belief that people can be classified based on how privileged and oppressed they are , and if someone can make a case for being oppressed they are free to be as horrible to people they have deemed more privileged than them as they want , and the privileged people are supposed to just kowtow to them while they ' re being kicked in the gut repeatedly . Identity politics is an excuse for spoiled , rich kids to whine about how oppressed they are over their $ 12 lattes on their $ 3 , 000 Macbooks .
