Because a haters got to hate

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Because they just want a bone to chew on. Like those who keep on reminding they are different , and thus require special status from other people in society.

That's such an unsatisfactory answer.

What a masterpiece film I always like to come back to it from time to time.
But it's true.

It is what it is
What's known as Identity Politics is an evolution of Marxist thought, which has mostly overtaken the notion of 'class struggle' and recognized instead what they believe is a struggle of oppressed against oppressor, in various classes and forms. The focus on this is to try creating an egalitarian society which favours no-one, and generally is without hierarchy, sex roles etc.
I am not for this.

Some of it is due to history. Such views were quite common among my grandparents' generations, but less so among my parents' and my generation. But there's still that legacy, which still continues to be a source of contention. It's an ongoing issue which won't likely go away anytime soon.

Well, yes. If you believe in it, but it can also be used against you be other. That is the problem with the truth. It works both for and against you depending on what is believed to be the truth.
Nope, some people just enjoy hating, and on the internet it's am anonymous way for them to spew their vile rhetoric at anyone willing to listen.
So don't listen.
Around the 70s and 80s.
I think we were on the right track when society was influenced by Martin Luther King. But today, sadly, some people on the right AND on the left have devolved. I think most of us would agree that "the right" is guilty of racism and misogyny. It's probably harder to see or admit that the "far left" or "progressives" or the "social justice warriors" (who won't stand up and name themselves), are also guilty of racism and misogyny. One way in which this manifests on the far left is via an extreme approach to identity politics. The far left now views many things through a simplistic and damaging "oppressed vs. oppressor" worldview. Taken to extremes (which happens a lot), we hear things like "white guilt" or "systemic racism". These ideas put everyone into identity politics buckets, and judge them by the bucket they fall into. So MLK's idea of judging people by the content of their character has been replaced with these crude, ham-handed identity politics divisions.
