Ignoring a problem does not make it go away. Consider the viewpoint in this youtube video. It is pretty long. The whole series is really good. This one is one of the last ones, I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCl33v5969M
That’s fair-- I take the same stance usually-- I really should have just done that from the get go, huh?
Your response above-- the one I replied to, is also a “win state” for bigots. They win when you ignore them, and when you give them attention. The video goes on to point out that framing the scenario like you are, where the battlefield is a war over attention, that minorities are being treated as tools or pieces on a board, and both sides are engaging in bigotry.
My summary sucks, but maybe it’s enough to get you to take a look?
I don’t see any reason why I should transcribe a video for you, when it’s freely available to watch at your leisure. I find the video series insightful when it comes to understanding and combatting bigotry and those that champion it-- and for sure, you may not. I only wanted to bring it to your attention because it directly applies to the discussion, and assuming your end goal is combatting bigotry, you might be interested in knowing that the way you’re going about it isn’t likely to work.
the video provides context for the conversation. if you’re not interested in doing the work in order to participate, fine, but demanding that they transcribe possibly thousands of words just because you refuse to watch the video isn’t reasonable.
they have no obligation to do exceed to your entitled demands, and this is not a “profession” but a casual conversation. again, if you refuse to make the effort to do what’s required to participate in it, then that is your choice. don’t complain when others won’t do that work for you.

I can’t watch the video for you, friend. If you’re curious, watch it. If you’re not, then don’t.
