It seems everything is racist or sexist or homophobic!! You can't say anything without people picking it apart, within the last week I've been told I'm an 'anti feminist' because I choose to cover up with a scarf when I breastfeed In public and also that having a larger bum Is 'cultural appropriation' because I'm a white woman Hmm

I think I know what you're getting at OP. There does seem to be a culture right now of telling people they're X, Y and Z if they don't hold very specific views. I've seen articles and videos online a few times over the last weeks that all men are automatically sexist, all white people are automatically racist and all straight people are automatically homophobic. I've also read that white women should step aside when it comes to taking opportunities to elevate their "black sisters". And if we don't we are racist. Pisses me off TBH.

Ironically I think this uber liberal way of thinking has done damage to the liberal cause. Someone on the Pledge said that he believes many people voted for Brexit and Trump because they're sick of being told what to think, feel and say. I think he's probably right!

You are only racist and xenophobic if you voted for Brexit Grin

I think saying a big ass belongs to certain cultures or skin colour is racist. Or at the very least bad stereotyping.
