Most vocal outward attack on a group of people in the news with free reign and accepted speak to hate them at this moment in time is any Trump supporter regardless of what minority or majority they are.
Hate is daily directed toward them as if it is acceptable and it shouldn't be. Whether they be black, Jew , Gay or Latino, it it is now acceptable because it is spewed all over the MSM , the hate channels.

That would have been another way to word the poll: against which group is it most acceptable to vent hate or contempt, and I would have had to add both Trump voters AND whites.
What? So you want to ignore the problem of these types of often violent crimes?
Agree. Interesting how she twisted around a poll intended to increase awareness of hate crimes against many different minorities. (I guess that’s the contempt for Trump voters being expressed, as pointed out in the first response.)
I don’t know which ones are discriminated against the most but the playbook says to use Intersectionality as the measuring stick. So a woman might be discriminated against but a black woman is discriminated against more often. A black woman who is also a lesbian even more so. A transgender black woman who is a lesbian even more than that. A transgender black woman who happened to be a lesbian with learning disabled child is almost King/Queen like in Intersectionality circles. Those categories, which oddly enough they don’t believe in because they’re social constructs, gives a special “power-knowledge” to those individuals because of their “lived experiences.” That gives them the right to speak out and over others that don’t have the same amount of oppression points.
Intersectionality boils down to the level of the individual, which they also don’t believe in because grouping people together, like BIPOC, gives them power. It’s much easier to plot a large group against another if you group them together in a large enough “oppressed” category.
Quote:
We all can recognize the distinction between the claims “I am Black” and the claim “I am a person who happens to be Black.” “I am Black” takes the socially imposed identity and empowers it as an anchor of subjectivity. “I am Black” becomes not simply a statement of resis- tance, but also a positive discourse of self- identification, intimately linked to celebra- tory statements like the Black nationalist “Black is beautiful.” “I am a person who happens to be Black,” on the other hand, achieves self-identification by straining for a certain universality (in effect, “I am first a person”) and for a concomitant dismissal of the imposed category (‘Black’) as contin- gent, circumstantial, non-determinant. There is truth in both characterizations, of course, but they function, quite differently depending on the political context. At this point in history, a strong case can be made that the most critical resistance strategy for dis-empowered groups is to occupy and defend a politics of social location rather than to vacate and destroy it.
