Problem is, there are people on here who truly believe that many very 'soft' Conservative viewpoints are de-facto racist/sexist.
eg.
- The belief that there should be more support for ex-Muslims implies that Islam has a problem with apostates.
- The belief that the job market is a meritocracy and isn't racist implies that black people's relative 'failings' are their own 'fault' etc.
- The belief that the pay gap is down to women's choices rather than discrimination implies that women are naturally less career-driven and more family-oriented which many consider inherently sexist.
etc.etc.
