Yes that is the ideology. Sadly in the real world the people who hide behind those ideals are actually racist.
Did you know it’s possible to acknowledge social inequality and historical racism
Yes and I would like to expand that racism itself does not discriminate. Members of minority groups are not immune to being racist,sexist,homophobic,… or any other deranged behavior. That is my only point here.
beneficial to both straight white male people and those who are not straight, white or male?
Now this was racist as fuck. You could say ‘for everyone’ but you had to discriminate one of many colors we have.
I would really wanna know who those ‘white’ people are. Please explain so I can avoid those racist assholes.

Pointing out the majority, the intrinsic traits that would give an individual the most ready access to power for the last 3 millenia if not longer is not racist, it’s acknowledging your own privilege, your own luck when being born. Or if you’re not a straight, white, male, it’s acknowledging the extra hurdles of discrimination (intentional or not), and the limited access to famialial resources that you might have to overcome for which the straight white male would not.
As a straight white male you will probably never be denied a loan, a business license, a job or access to college due to discrimination. If you are not straight white or male you very well may have been multiple times over by the time you’re reading this

This is true, but it’s also extremely important to separate equity from equality, as well as acknowledgement of yours and others traits from discrimination. It’s also extremely important to remember that celebrating your traits that remove you from the majority is not about saying you’re superior but is about building pride and appreciation where previously one may have had to hide these traits from the world or have their options limited by simply having these traits.
No if the “intrinsic traits” are skin color. It is the same as being person of darker skin color makes you a latent criminal, rapist etc. You see my point here?
We can talk about social and political background of a person or a group but if you mix skin color into accusations you are an actual racist.

Assuming you know something about someone only due their skin color is pretty fucking racist. That includes assuming a white person has familial resources, or assuming that a non white doesn’t.
It’s odd sitting here having to explain that stereotypes are bad.
