So, we have already seen that Islam trumps woman, and we've now seen that woman trump class disparity (as we see with the pussygrabbing hysteria). We have also seen that black trumps hispanic, class disparity, and gay. How does black weigh against woman? How does disabled weigh against each of these?

How do you see these different opression groups ranking against each other in the oppression olympics that we see from the regressive left?
 
Well, I think we can all agree that if you're a disabled, black, lesbian Muslim woman, you win everything.

I believe that black trumps gay and gay trumps Muslim. After that, I'd say that disabled trumps women. That's good news for women's rights because it means that they're not as oppressed as other people anymore.
 
Wait, I thought it was white people and Christian bakers who were oppressed.

lol I would like to see somebody with that oppression cred speak out for egalitarianism. It would spin people's heads even more than Larry Elder, Karen Straughan, etc.

We see? I think "we" need a new pair of glasses.

True. Not everyone on the left is a cultural Marxist (indeed, these folks may make up only a tiny portion of the left), and it would be helpful if those on the left who are embarrassed by cultural Marxists spoke up more often.
 
Or perhaps right wing pretend liberal snowflakes need to put on their big boy pants and stop getting triggered over all their fantasy outrages of the day.

Not quite everything. If you are a native Alaskan veteran-owned Company bidding on a federal contract, you can bid higher even than a disabled, black, lesbian Muslim woman and still win.* </nitpick>

* Assumes you have applied for and received 8(a) status.

Hence the label "Rergressive Left", so not to include the entire left. These regressives stand for anything but liberal values (like free speech etc).
 
The Progressive Stack used at Occupy Wall Street was:

1. Race
2. Heternormativity
3. Gender
4. Sexual Orientation
5. Ability
6. Class

They left religion off the list, so I cannot tell where Islam ranks, as well as other religions. It is simplified, because apparently race is relative. In a conflict between a black man and a hispanic man, the hispanic man is considered white for the duration of the conflict. If he then goes and has a conflict with a white man he becomes brown.

What also isn't noted is if this list is absolute or a point system. Does a gay trans handicapped white woman have more oppression points than a straight able-bodied cis black male?
 
Race seems to work in reverse with asians these days, though it wasn't always that way. We used to be thought of as stupid and only for working railroads and laundry mats. Now people assume we are smart and good at math. Not so bad for us now, but hard for the dumb amongst us asians to live up to.

Ya, but the dumb ones can still do the equations in their head to work out exactly how much harder it is for them and then realize that they only need to put in 12.6% more effort to live up to people's expectations and that's doable.
 
How does the Oppression Olympics deal with mixed race people? For example, our new Senator in California is Kamala Harris (who Barack Obama sexually objectified once by saying she was good looking. The perv! :mad:):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamala_Harris#cite_note-nomination-4

Harris was elected California's Attorney General in 2010 and re-elected in 2014.[2][3] Harris was the first woman,[4] the first Jamaican American, the first Asian American and the first Indian American attorney general in California.

[Note: The Wiki article says she's Jamaican American, but I'm going to assume that's the same thing as African American according to Oppression Olympic theory, on account of the skin tone. Most people refer to her and think of her as African American anyway.]

Instead of being a politician, let's pretend she's young and applying for college or a job in a technical field. Her Asian roots works against her when it comes to college admissions, STEM jobs, etc. But her African American roots has the opposite effect. That part of her is preferred for college admissions, STEM jobs, etc. Do the two races balance each other out, so that she is now a neutral on the oppression scale? How do HR departments, diversity consultants and university admissions officers handle a case like this? Will they be forced (trigger warning: crazy talk ahead) into ignoring race and considering the "content of her character" instead a la Martin Luther King, Jr?

I also wonder what it must be like for her biologically. Are there "oppression battles" constantly going on between her little Asian anti-bodies and her African American anti-bodies? I wonder who's winning? It must be like being half Vulcan and half human, like Mr. Spock. Constant turmoil.

I guess mixed race people should get an average of the point values of their contributing races. The real question is what racial point value do you get if you are Rachel Dolezal or Shaun King?

It's okay to be a dumb Asian, so long as you still badly drive a mini-van to the Casino on a regular basis.
