Why are obvious questions or affronts to posters
About the umbrage they would take to question
Of sexual equality treated differently?

It is my view that too many DUERS understand
The LGBTIQ folk are only male, white, and affluent.

That racial minority DUERS don't exist and that they
Don't suffer two fronts of discrimination.

If I point out in a thread that a particular act of discrimination
Wouldn't happen if it was about strictly racial questions
It's deleted.

What's going on?

1. As a general rule, I prefer not to respond to hypotheticals.
Because I have found that often there is some nuance to the real-life example, some mitigating factor, which the hypothetical does not address.

Speaking only based on what you have posted here, we have a longstanding rule against personal attacks, and that would include insinuations that a person is a bigot. I suspect that might explain why your post was deleted.

2. well i appreciate the response.
i don't however think i was making that accusation.

but i was making the point about a strong defense of racism and a less strong strong defense of anti-lgbtiq issues.

some how there is some over-lapping here that i do not understand.
