It's usually used to mean identity politics, isn't it? The origin of the word has it's roots in racism, but now it's come to basically mean all forms of identity politics.

I guess you could call structural oppression “identity politics”, but that seriously feels like a dog whistle.

All politics fundamentally concerns identity.
