REDISTRIBUTION OF DISCRIMINATION, NOT ELIMINATION OF IT

—“As the culture of non-discrimination against protected groups expands, the discrimination against unprotected groups increases. In societies that do not prohibit any type of discrimination, pecking order is not rigid and discrimination is dispersed. As new rules and social stigmas against certain types of discrimination appear, society shifts its natural disdain for the members of its lower side of any kind of spectrum to the unprotected. As new groups are added to the taboo list, the possibilities for dispersing discrimination narrow. As a result, all societal hate becomes directed against the very few. We have yet to see the evidence that the politics of anti-discrimination reduces the overall amount of discrimination (as opposed to particular manifestation of discrimination).”— Paul B
