I know this is tremendously difficult for some people to understand, but the liberal tradition means not taking gender, race, affluence, etc. into account when we extend concern for people, or weigh their arguments. Bigots on the right believe the some types of people are inherently better than others. On the identity politics left, the dogma of groups of people being victims/heroes or oppressors/villains is simply the mirror-image of that simplistic nonsense. They're both credos for people who are too dumb, insecure, or partisan to engage with the complexity of reality.
