Is there a point when these people stop and think "Am I the racist now?"

 If we judge by the out-roar at the election of a white woman as Miss Zimbabwe, the answer is no.

I mean, first of all, she is African. She is Zimbabwean. Her ancestors have been living there for a long period of time - she is not a "colonizer" any more, than an American Italian whose ancestors arrived in the 19th-20th century, or someone whose parents came over from Cuba in the '70s, is an immigrant. So no. She is part of that country. Denying it because of her skin color or her ancestry is racism. Unless you also agree that black, Asian, whatever people living in Europe can never be Europeans. I am sure a lot of Fascistic people would agree with you. Not sure this is your ideal company, but once you start thinking about progressive identity politics, you will find that there is a great deal of overlap between the two ideology.

Also.

She is a minority, so multiculturalism, representation, whatever should be a good thing. But apparently this is always a one-way street with these people. And in their wallowing of in their own victim-hood, which seems to be the cornerstone of their identity, while they eagerly import American-style identity politics, they simultaneously express the vilest racism directed at this woman. And this is perfectly fine,  which does not cause any cognitive dissonance.

Astonishing.

As a side-note: the fact that most of Africa is a shithole today with appalling living conditions for their inhabitants cannot be blamed on the evil white men any more.

Dawkins as an evil Rightwinger -did not take long...

 ...or a genius to see it coming.

Now poor boy became a nasty, evil, right-wing transphobe just for sticking with science.

 Wait, what? We can now criticize the new Star Wars movies?? Now we can admit that those evil fans who criticized were not racist and sexist pigs and all?*

 

*Again, a few vocal morons do not make a toxic fandom, otherwise feminism, trans activists, and literally every other group of people more than ten individuals would be in great trouble. But they were useful to dismiss valid criticism, weren't they?

 

Oh, I forgot. We do not go that far. In true Orwellian fashion we never did like the new Star Wars sequels. Also, Ghostbusters 2016 wasn't really good, either.

This is normally what happens. For some mysterious reason the "progressive" parts of the media absolutely stands beside extremely flawed movies, TV series because of the message they are forcing, and are useful for propagating their own culture wars fighting the evil White Patriarchy. The quality is irrelevant, the message matters. (Usually the forced message is the reason for the sh... questionable quality anyhow.) Part of it is the nature of the 'access media', but a large chunk of it is activism.

Some time passes, there are new outrages, so it is then becomes safe to actually admit that the work in question is actually sh... not very good, and has nothing to do with the original franchise/work it was adapted from. Now it is time to push the new stuff (like the new Snow White(ish), or the planned diverse Viking live action How to Train Your Dragon.) So the circle continues.

I guess it is The Wheel of Time's and the Rings of Power's turn now. I am sure we will see some articles in the mighty Guardian saying that the series strayed very far from the source material, and the character of Galadriel, is in fact, bad. You know, the very thing they called you a racist, sexist pig for.

Identity politics - political correctness

 Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -CS Lewis

The cost of luxury beliefs - play stupid games, win stupid prices

 So these luxury beliefs are essentially beliefs that are espoused by the upper middle class because they are -in general- not impacted by the consequences of said beliefs. Most of the woke stuff belongs to this group of beliefs. For example, liberals, by large, are worried more about the future of girls than boys -but only when the boys in question are not theirs. Then suddenly they actually worry as much as conservatives. 

Another case is the de-fund the police. It has been a very popular thing in later years after George Floyd -with foreseeable consequences where it was tried.

And now there is Shivanthi Sathanandan, who actively campaigned against the police.

 

 Until, that is, four armed men beat her up in front of her family and stole her car. And now she is quite pro-policing, proving the old saying that a conservative is a liberal who got mugged. It is quite ironic, I guess. It is not nice to laugh at others' misfortune, but in this case I guess a mild sense of satisfaction of having seen the person facing, what she is advocating for for other people, is somewhat justified. I think she thought police was only important for poor people, and her words would have no effect on her own personal life. Suddenly she feels that it is important to have police presence. Obviously the whole conservative media is having a field day with this, and rightly so-, while the left side of the media keeps quite silent on it.

What I would put large sums on, however, is that her political career will not suffer for this, and she will not be forced to face the apparent hypocrisy in the sudden change of tune. She -and others- can just continue with other idiocy without actually considering what they are advocating for. (Just mentioning that her photo under her statement does not really look real -the blood looks more like red wine, and while the makeup is perfect, no smears, no tear marks, nothing, there is also no swelling. If you want to see how someone who got hit on the head looks like, well, google it - it is quite different. I mean sure, it was a nasty experience, but you do not have to make it look even worse for a little more drama, eh?)
