If the left has its way, and all the white people in America are made to pay reparations for the chattel slavery of bygone days, will Rachael Dolezal, who pretends to be black, pay her share - or will she reap the benefits of her self-defined identity? Can one "Feel like" a black person for tax purposes alone? Can one self-identify as handicapped for the convenient parking spaces? It is fortunate that one's self-identification as either competent or incompetent has not yet achieved the much-coveted protected status.
Almost everyone understood that different peoples, races, and cultures were just that - different.
The people of the rest of the world, from South America to Africa, from the Middle East to the Far East - still understand perfectly well that all people are neither the same nor compatible with one another.
As soon as people started to believe that everybody isn't merely equal before the law, but that all groups of people must be equal every which way, we made enemies with an ocean of inconvenient facts.
Instead of the slow, methodical practice of ferreting reality from nature people began to tie their beliefs to what they thought would be nice.
The bitter irony produced by all this this fanciful cognitive gibberish is that, in a world in which people are in a constant state of competition for official pity, all that was good at the beginning of the liberal project has been wrecked or overturned.
What is "Equality before the law" when some people are entitled to extra protections under hate crime laws? What is "Basic human decency" when, to be a victim, one must identify a group of people as oppressors and revile them publicly as a class?
