Believing that human social pathologies are likely universal is a bias?

Hateful expression is more prominent when it’s socially acceptable, and in American society at large, there are socially acceptable targets for hate that do not align with the majority/minority group division.

Consider, for example, the prominent, public, long-standing (and for some reason, tolerated) racial animosity between Asian and Black Americans.

Wait, so you think minority groups hating one another is not aligned with the majority/minority group division? I don't understand; by definition each group is a member of a minority social group, wouldn't that obviously be the case that they're therefore subject to all of the negativity that entails? There's no unity amongst minority groups, if that's what you're suggesting; the majority group makes it tolerable to espouse hate against all minority groups, including from other minority groups.

You say you don't know why it's tolerated, but that's my point exactly; it's tolerated because it's hate towards a minority group (regardless of the source). It would be substantially less tolerated if it were hate towards the majority group.

Hate is far more tolerated from minority groups regardless of the target.

Consider how often you’ve read “kill all men” or “kill all terfs”, versus “kill all women” or “kill all transgender people”.

Furthermore, consider the stronger emotional reaction you likely had to reading the second two, as opposed to the first two.

For sure, hate from a group in control is much different than hate from a group that isn't in control.

"Terfs" aren't the ones in control, not by a long shot. Radical feminists have been consistently mocked and marginalised since their activism started.

By contrast, trans-identifying people are comparatively celebrated in our society.

Okay? What I said still stands.
