I saw this on Facebook earlier.
It’s been making the rounds, and while I see the point (that identity politics sucks), I am not sure that answering identity politics with identity politics does much more than perpetuate identity politics.
Also, the use of the phrase “upside down” intrigued me, because it implies that there is a right side which should be up.
So I thought I would spoof it up a bit.
Get back up where you belong, ye oppressed races and sexualities!

One response to “Right side up the upside down!”
Don’t forget male!
In all seriousness, the trend toward “I’m X, what can you do for X?” is one of the worst things to happen to government. I think the main reason it survives is that so few people realize these are essentially the same apologetics that were issued for Jim Crow, anti-suffrage, and laws against homosexuality.
