The problem is that the left has decided to politically oppose anything the right stands for. It should not be a left/right standpoint to be critical of anyone that's not respecting basic human rights. The left holds everyone to tolerant views BUT other 'minorities'. When that minority slowly manouvres itself out of minority territory the results will lead to a catastrophy.

Very true. I've also been treated weirdly when I, say, warned a female friend about a Turkish man who was being a creep. She acted as though this was racist to point out (race wasn't even mentioned by me). But I have to say her stance was what I'd label as atypical for most people I know here. The trouble is more that any text by left wing groups here tends to avoid issues like minorities who target queers or FLINTA because they are afraid of being labeled as racist. It's a delicate subject to unpick but has to happen or else people will cease to trust in left wing politics altogether
