How is that key? I don't think that changes the point being made very much if at all.

There is not, technically, intrinsically, anything wrong with wearing a White Pride shirt. But context is what matters.

Oh, sorry, I just meant that was the key reason they consider it systemic discrimination, I agree w your broader point, should have been clearer

Oh you meant that's why they think they have a right to do it. Yeah, I'd agree that they think so.

NAYRT but OG anon, I think sort of that was my point and maybe it came out a little antagonistic, which I didn't mean. Obviously there's no need for White/Straight/Men/Christian pride days/parades because of that history of 'being on top' that other colours/sexes/religions/etc didn't have to fight their way through to be proud of themselves.

I meant it more in a low-key sort of, "Hey I like being Christian, it's part of who I am," and even the low key religious people do seem to get more... antagonism in my experience than most. (and I say all of this as an agnostic who doesn't care which god/goddess/gods/etcs you do or do not worship, so long as you don't try and bring it into politics or anything else that tries to dictate how someone else should lead their life)

That probably is a reflection of how the organized religion has oppressed others. People who have had bad experiences with religion are bound to be more antagonistic against the big dominant one that's made them feel bad or hurt people they know. Even more so due to Christianity - at least in the US - being tangled up with all the other issues, being used as a shield for white nationalism, oppression of women, homophobia, etc etc.

I'm not saying people are right to be mean to others or ridicule their religious beliefs, but that's probably the reason it happens. And on a community like this that's more than a bit off the mainstream demographics, there's going to be more people on average that's had bad experiences, probably.
