i'm actually kind of aghast at the hypocrisy i'm hearing from defenders of aziz ansari.

but, maybe the hypocrisy is exposing what #metoo is really about, which is a violent enforcement of a diversity strategy rather than a vigilante lynch mob. it seems like it was never about what these men did or didn't do, and more about perceived injustices in how they obtained their positions of power given the intersection of their gender and skin colours.

here is the reality of #metoo: if azis ansari were a white man, he'd be torn down as fast as the next one. but, he's getting a pass on this because he's not white, because the oppressor in the narrative is supposed to be a white male. it's a weird twist: he's being rejected for the role of villain due to his race. whites only.

....because that's what this is really about, and why it doesn't matter if the accusations are true or not, so long as the people falling are white men from positions of perceived privilege.
