Unfortunately, it has been used as a vessel for people to influence the laws and morals of a society based on group affiliation. This ideology goes hand in hand with subjectivism and moral relativism in that our value and meaning are only as good as the group that we belong to and the groups we place others in or worse, whatever the majority decides. This will inevitably lead to bloodshed. The core of any civilization and particularly in the west is that our meaning and value transcends the lenses and the views of the people around us. Meaning that I nor any other human being has the right to determine the worth of someone based on their group identity regardless of how well meaning we are or how much we want equity. Why is it wrong to kill people, why is it wrong to steal from others, why is it wrong to hurt one another? Because we have to believe in the value of human life, decency, ingenuity, and prosperity. Otherwise whenever we decide the values and rights of groups overrule the individuals in them, it becomes rather easy to sacrifice 10, 100, 1000, or 1,000,000 just to achieve an ideal.

I'm a gay Mexican and I find the idea that there HAS to be a gay Mexican for the sake of diversity a bad thing. A movie like Love Simon made me wish the movie came out when I was in high school so it could help with my sexuality.

You know, I am a white man, I am not really poor so I won't have problems getting in the upper middle class, so I guess I'm privileged, but what is about my privilege for being pretty? Where's my intelligence privilege? I have serious concerns that this intersectionality thing just leads us (or better, you) down the wrong way. And by the way, I don't have to respect you. You can loose my respect for you entirely based on what you say to me or what I hear you saing to others. So if you wanna be respected, you gotta respect everyone else too (even those who don't buy into your interesectionality.

Yeah, I'd be careful with that statement. There are quite a few lesbians that still had children, either by "biting the bullet" and fucking with a man or by just having a sperm donor and getting an IV fertilization.

Yes it's basically asking oneself--how many ways am I a victim, and then expecting everybody else to give you all kinds of special treatment so that you don't have to ever face challenges in life and learn how to overcome them. Instead of teaching people ways to identify in which way they are victims of so-called "privileged" people, why not teach people about things like COMPASSION, EMPATHY, SHARING, KINDNESS.

Why is it necessary for there to be more intersectional movies like Moonlight? You make it sound as though the quality of the story is secondary to a movie being representative of certain demographics.
Just because you're gay or you Asian doesn't make you special what makes you special is what you do in life good or bad doesn't make you better than anyone else if you're gay the only makes you look like you're playing the victim when people can't get out and you don't like the opinions stop playing the victim
You are promoting a harmful ideology; not all Chinese people are the same, not all Chinese lesbians are the same, not all Chinese lesbian immigrants are the same. People don't have common experiences because they share a race, sexuality, nationality, and so on. How about we treat each other as individuals with a modicum of decency, instead of NPCs that must march to some prescripted behaviors...
I understand why this video has so many dislikes while she obviously did a great job at explaining all these serious issues on a light note. It is because most people prefer to be ignorant when they are privileged in their respective societies. It is important to understand that intersections here represent the myriad of oppression, and discrimination one can face by just belonging to any labeled 'artficial' category. At the same time, it is rather offensive to not see humans as humans. Her example of Moonlight clearly represents how underrepresented the black community is within Hollywood. If they don't want to put an effort into a character, make them black, or gay, or both, because the minority becomes the center of the joke to entertain privileged people who spend money for cheap laughs. I am glad I am settled in the east. As an Indian we still suffer from the same standards imposed by outsiders who firmly believed that our culture and religion needs to be 'fixed'. Each intersection comes with a predefined stereotype widely accepted by the majority and they will boldly judge and oppress because privilege is a fragile thing, today is, tomorrow not.
intersectionality is just a way of people like you to put yourself above gays and women in the imaginary victimhood pyramid. It's an imaginary, narcissistic idea. It's garbage, it's all in your self obsessed tiny little brain
So a character being gay is not good enough for you? You want a gay character to also be of a different race, class and have a not-so-good life? Oh, my God, why the fuck is this such a huge problem? Why should it matter? Can you just be grateful that there are many gay characters in movies and TV shows? Can you just be accept it regardless if that character is white, black, Latino, Hispanic, Asian, rich, poor, happy, sad, depressed, etc? This is not an issue.
thank you. I am doing a social work assignment at uni involving intersectionality, and your video is the clearest one I found that explains it in a way I understand.
If you take intersectionality to its logical conclusion, no two people are alike in every category. Thus, we are all unique individuals and should be treated as such, rendering intersectionality useless.
You have just been Undoomed! Muahahahha. And, I'm not going to get into a whole debate over everything. But with your "Respect" thing. Either you earn my respect or don't. It's not granted. And I'm not under any obligation to want to or have to learn about any of this. It's all nonsense. You are an individual and these are just your traits. You don't need to make it more complicated than that. Stop trying to shove everyone into a category. That's part of the issue! Let people be seen as just there individual selves and nothing more.
Not sure what you mean by 'respect'. I think by 'respect' she just means treating people with tolerance/politeness/decency/kindness. That's how I define 'respect'. And I assume that's what she meant too. Like a "I may not understand why an Asian lesbian immigrant is doing this video but I respect your right to do it." Just like you may say something like, "I may not understand your choice to have an open relationship, but I respect your right to do it." Or like we may say "Don't be an asshole. Treat people with some respect. Have some respect." That sort of thing. Also, I don't think intersectionality is about diminishing the importance of individuality. It's just about seeing that people struggle with different things. For example you may meet a person who's really really good looking, and you feel jealous and you feel they have a lot of privilege. But then you find out they're really really poor. So now they're not as privileged as you thought they were.
Just to note outside myself and I see a few others. Undoomed just tore down this video. Which means by this time tomorrow you are gonna be flooded with messages attacking your nonsense. R.I.P video! You deserve it though.
Intersectionality fails because it violates the fundamental bedrock of enlightenment values: Prioritizing the individual. It is not WHAT you are, it is WHO you are; and whatisms should play no significant role in determining WHO you are as an individual. Whereas intersectionality puts ALL the emphasis on these things, and as such, is not only counter-enlightenment, but is by definition, illiberal.
How about the Central and South Asian people who don't have 'small eyes'? Just because they don't have small eyes, shall we consider creating a new continent or "Big Eye Asians"? :P
Intersectionality:Judging people and treating them differently based on their physical characteristics rather than their character and chosen ideals. Sounds like racism. Hard pass. Keep in mind. I do listen, but it gets difficult with the insufferable smugness these people carry around with them.
Newsflash: We are all in the "intersectionality" group because we are more than one thing by definition. That's why we are all different and no one really gives a shit about being labeled something that was just made up so the originator could feel better about being part of the Black Panther movement.
I look really white but by birth I am linked to the First Nations of the town I was born in. My great , great, great grandfather was the leader of the First Nations and the town I was raised in is actually named after him. My adopted Father was Korean and his name by birth is my middle name, Hanju. When he came to Canada in the 1950s, immigration officials misheard his name and recorded it as Han Choo. He never corrected them… in the 1990s he had made contact with family in North Korea, and we’d get letters addressed to Hanju Lee, and Mum asked why, and Dad shared the story that it was his birth name, and the government of Canada recorded it wrong. My middle name was actually Robert Han, and I had it changed to just Hanju, to correct the mistake and so his name would live on through me. I also identify as non-binary / genderqueer. My pronouns are they / them / their. I came out demipansexual in 2020. Pansexual fit who I am perfectly as a terminology, and I recognize it as being under the bisexual umbrella. In grades 7-10 I was bullied horribly, and in grades 11-12, didn’t really have any close friends as to get the bullying to stop, they threatened to sue the school and the district. The school put out an edict that anyone bullying me would be expelled from the district. So the bullying stopped but in some ways I ended up preferring the negative attention to no attention. It’s been something that’s hindered me my whole life, I still have trust issues and difficulties making friends today.
You are putting yourself in the shoes of those "oppressed minorities". You're being selfish in your advocation of intersectionality. Id argue that having sympathy for those who are worse off, is better.
As a non American this concept of intersectionality is so flawed. why can't be as a society just encourage kindness, and respecting people and leaving them be. Instead we have this system of labelling victim cards and stacking them together for moral points. You realise this is just scoring people objectively for social credit. Not much different from the authoritative Chinese government policies. Not trying to spew hate but hear me out. Maybe pursue an actual crime for being a crime. Also, can't we just accept that we as humans do judge the unfamiliar, and socially are more accepting of people similar to ourselves? No I think the way to solve this is just to encourage respect for one another. Not some arbitrary law or social construct to make us feel morally superior. Shit happens to people. Guess what, for the majority of humankind people have always been fighting for dominance, socially, through wars, etc. Just be more accepting. Stop focusing so much on victimhood, start trying to live a better life
Honestly, Americans have been doing that for centuries. Ignoring the victims and cancelling out cultures. Our history books don't tell the history of Black people as they attributed to our society, we built a white supremacist nation, we created "conversion therapy" to "fix" our gays. We tried our damnest to snuff out the "weird" and make "white and straight" normal, so much so that even the LGBTQ+ community was convinced they were "weird". The fact that we even HAVE this term is a step forward. Representation matters, especially when a nation has so many oppressed and systematically marginalized people, specifically BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).
So basically, we need stories about characters representing these groups. More and more and more. Forget about character complexity, philosophy, principles, and values. As long as they check the boxes of marginalized groups, then that's all that matters. Worked so well for the comic industry.
"I am......a victim." Intersectionality is how you maximize your victim status. The more of a victim you are the higher your social status, and the greater your power.
The problem with intersectionality is that it assumes victimhood. It does not take into account the positive factors that those same people may possess. For example beauty, talent, the status of family and friends, wealth, education, profession, etc. Beyonce' is a black woman. According to intersectional rules, she is a victim. But she is a beautiful, talented, rich, celebrity. Does anyone think that her life suffers from negative intersectional bias? In fact, I would say that as of 2020 no beautiful, rich, or talented woman does.
Population of Black Women in USA = +21.7 Million. No. of Beyonce(s) = 1 See, the idea of victimhood is misleading. Intersectionality is more about being mindful of other people and their identities and not discriminating them for them. People are not claiming free health insurance because they are intersectional. They are expecting an open, safe, and accepting world. I don't see a problem with that Bill. Peace!
@@MegaAadhar And I see no problem whatsoever with your consept of intersectionality. But as with many other things today "intersectionality" is being used to drive a Marxist aganda nationwide. It is being used to seperate us into tribes. It is being used in a classic devide and conquer fashon. Marxists always devide. In Europe they focused on class warefare. Here they have focused on race primarily and included pretty much everything else. E pluribus unum means out of the many, one. But intersectionality is being used as a tool to seperate the one into many manageable sections. Be well Mega. Peace and love!
I get it that one would want to put up a defense if one feels marginalized, but if the defense is to marginalize other groups, what's the point? As soon as you say you've been discriminated against by another group, you're betraying a prejudice against that group that will marginalize individual humans who just happen to be members of that group. If you defend yourself by saying ALL members of that group behave that way, you're doing exactly what you claim they do.

A movie like Love Simon made me wish the movie came out when I was in high school so it could help with my sexuality.

And by the way, I don't have to respect you. You can loose my respect for you entirely based on what you say to me or what I hear you saing to others. So if you wanna be respected, you gotta respect everyone else too (even those who don't buy into your interesectionality.

Intersectionality is basically a game to see who can be victimized more
Yes it's basically asking oneself--how many ways am I a victim, and then expecting everybody else to give you all kinds of special treatment so that you don't have to ever face challenges in life and learn how to overcome them. Instead of teaching people ways to identify in which way they are victims of so-called "privileged" people, why not teach people about things like COMPASSION, EMPATHY, SHARING, KINDNESS.

Just because you're gay or you Asian doesn't make you special what makes you special is what you do in life good or bad doesn't make you better than anyone else if you're gay the only makes you look like you're playing the victim when people can't get out and you don't like the opinions stop playing the victim
You are promoting a harmful ideology; not all Chinese people are the same, not all Chinese lesbians are the same, not all Chinese lesbian immigrants are the same. People don't have common experiences because they share a race, sexuality, nationality, and so on. How about we treat each other as individuals with a modicum of decency, instead of NPCs that must march to some prescripted behaviors...
but asking people about their culture is considered micro-aggressions
I understand why this video has so many dislikes while she obviously did a great job at explaining all these serious issues on a light note. It is because most people prefer to be ignorant when they are privileged in their respective societies. It is important to understand that intersections here represent the myriad of oppression, and discrimination one can face by just belonging to any labeled 'artficial' category. At the same time, it is rather offensive to not see humans as humans. Her example of Moonlight clearly represents how underrepresented the black community is within Hollywood. If they don't want to put an effort into a character, make them black, or gay, or both, because the minority becomes the center of the joke to entertain privileged people who spend money for cheap laughs. I am glad I am settled in the east. As an Indian we still suffer from the same standards imposed by outsiders who firmly believed that our culture and religion needs to be 'fixed'. Each intersection comes with a predefined stereotype widely accepted by the majority and they will boldly judge and oppress because privilege is a fragile thing, today is, tomorrow not.
So... your opinion only matters depending on your gender, race or sexual preference?
intersectionality is just a way of people like you to put yourself above gays and women in the imaginary victimhood pyramid. It's an imaginary, narcissistic idea. It's garbage, it's all in your self obsessed tiny little brain
So a character being gay is not good enough for you? You want a gay character to also be of a different race, class and have a not-so-good life? Oh, my God, why the fuck is this such a huge problem? Why should it matter? Can you just be grateful that there are many gay characters in movies and TV shows? Can you just be accept it regardless if that character is white, black, Latino, Hispanic, Asian, rich, poor, happy, sad, depressed, etc? This is not an issue.

@@Foche_T._Schitt who ever told this poor woman that intersectionality is important was a mistake.
If you take intersectionality to its logical conclusion, no two people are alike in every category. Thus, we are all unique individuals and should be treated as such, rendering intersectionality useless.
You have just been Undoomed! Muahahahha. And, I'm not going to get into a whole debate over everything. But with your "Respect" thing. Either you earn my respect or don't. It's not granted. And I'm not under any obligation to want to or have to learn about any of this. It's all nonsense. You are an individual and these are just your traits. You don't need to make it more complicated than that. Stop trying to shove everyone into a category. That's part of the issue! Let people be seen as just there individual selves and nothing more.
Not sure what you mean by 'respect'. I think by 'respect' she just means treating people with tolerance/politeness/decency/kindness. That's how I define 'respect'. And I assume that's what she meant too. Like a "I may not understand why an Asian lesbian immigrant is doing this video but I respect your right to do it." Just like you may say something like, "I may not understand your choice to have an open relationship, but I respect your right to do it." Or like we may say "Don't be an asshole. Treat people with some respect. Have some respect." That sort of thing.
Also, I don't think intersectionality is about diminishing the importance of individuality. It's just about seeing that people struggle with different things. For example you may meet a person who's really really good looking, and you feel jealous and you feel they have a lot of privilege. But then you find out they're really really poor. So now they're not as privileged as you thought they were.

Intersectionality fails because it violates the fundamental bedrock of enlightenment values: Prioritizing the individual. It is not WHAT you are, it is WHO you are; and whatisms should play no significant role in determining WHO you are as an individual.
Whereas intersectionality puts ALL the emphasis on these things, and as such, is not only counter-enlightenment, but is by definition, illiberal.
Who in this planet can think that Blacks, Women or Gays are a "collective" with the same identities?
Wow.. Just call yourself a lesbian and call it a day
How about the Central and South Asian people who don't have 'small eyes'?
Just because they don't have small eyes, shall we consider creating a new continent or "Big Eye Asians"? :P
Intersectionality:Judging people and treating them differently based on their physical characteristics rather than their character and chosen ideals.
Sounds like racism. Hard pass.
Keep in mind. I do listen, but it gets difficult with the insufferable smugness these people carry around with them.
Respect is earned.. Not freely given.
Why does intersectional have to refer to 'marginalised'. It could've been a useful word
I think the like/dislike ratio is comment enough, your sh#t ain't selling.
Newsflash: We are all in the "intersectionality" group because we are more than one thing by definition. That's why we are all different and no one really gives a shit about being labeled something that was just made up so the originator could feel better about being part of the Black Panther movement.

I look really white but by birth I am linked to the First Nations of the town I was born in. My great , great, great grandfather was the leader of the First Nations and the town I was raised in is actually named after him. My adopted Father was Korean and his name by birth is my middle name, Hanju. When he came to Canada in the 1950s, immigration officials misheard his name and recorded it as Han Choo. He never corrected them… in the 1990s he had made contact with family in North Korea, and we’d get letters addressed to Hanju Lee, and Mum asked why, and Dad shared the story that it was his birth name, and the government of Canada recorded it wrong. My middle name was actually Robert Han, and I had it changed to just Hanju, to correct the mistake and so his name would live on through me.
I also identify as non-binary / genderqueer. My pronouns are they / them / their. I came out demipansexual in 2020. Pansexual fit who I am perfectly as a terminology, and I recognize it as being under the bisexual umbrella.
In grades 7-10 I was bullied horribly, and in grades 11-12, didn’t really have any close friends as to get the bullying to stop, they threatened to sue the school and the district. The school put out an edict that anyone bullying me would be expelled from the district. So the bullying stopped but in some ways I ended up preferring the negative attention to no attention. It’s been something that’s hindered me my whole life, I still have trust issues and difficulties making friends today.

You're welcome.
You are putting yourself in the shoes of those "oppressed minorities". You're being selfish in your advocation of intersectionality.
Id argue that having sympathy for those who are worse off, is better.
As a non American this concept of intersectionality is so flawed. why can't be as a society just encourage kindness, and respecting people and leaving them be.
Instead we have this system of labelling victim cards and stacking them together for moral points. You realise this is just scoring people objectively for social credit. Not much different from the authoritative Chinese government policies.
Not trying to spew hate but hear me out. Maybe pursue an actual crime for being a crime. Also, can't we just accept that we as humans do judge the unfamiliar, and socially are more accepting of people similar to ourselves? No I think the way to solve this is just to encourage respect for one another.
Not some arbitrary law or social construct to make us feel morally superior. Shit happens to people. Guess what, for the majority of humankind people have always been fighting for dominance, socially, through wars, etc.
Just be more accepting. Stop focusing so much on victimhood, start trying to live a better life
Honestly, Americans have been doing that for centuries. Ignoring the victims and cancelling out cultures. Our history books don't tell the history of Black people as they attributed to our society, we built a white supremacist nation, we created "conversion therapy" to "fix" our gays. We tried our damnest to snuff out the "weird" and make "white and straight" normal, so much so that even the LGBTQ+ community was convinced they were "weird". The fact that we even HAVE this term is a step forward. Representation matters, especially when a nation has so many oppressed and systematically marginalized people, specifically BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color).
"I am" IS a complete sentence, it's the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

So basically, we need stories about characters representing these groups. More and more and more. Forget about character complexity, philosophy, principles, and values. As long as they check the boxes of marginalized groups, then that's all that matters.

"I am......a victim." Intersectionality is how you maximize your victim status. The more of a victim you are the higher your social status, and the greater your power.
So intersectionality is being a victim.
Only if you victimize people. Have you thought about working to prevent victimization?
respect is earned.
So what you're basically saying is that I should be a slave to your emotions? If so, then sorry. I for one don't roll like that.
The problem with intersectionality is that it assumes victimhood. It does not take into account the positive factors that those same people may possess. For example beauty, talent, the status of family and friends, wealth, education, profession, etc. Beyonce' is a black woman. According to intersectional rules, she is a victim. But she is a beautiful, talented, rich, celebrity. Does anyone think that her life suffers from negative intersectional bias? In fact, I would say that as of 2020 no beautiful, rich, or talented woman does.
Population of Black Women in USA = +21.7 Million.
No. of Beyonce(s) = 1
See, the idea of victimhood is misleading. Intersectionality is more about being mindful of other people and their identities and not discriminating them for them. People are not claiming free health insurance because they are intersectional. They are expecting an open, safe, and accepting world. I don't see a problem with that Bill. Peace!
@@MegaAadhar And I see no problem whatsoever with your consept of intersectionality. But as with many other things today "intersectionality" is being used to drive a Marxist aganda nationwide. It is being used to seperate us into tribes. It is being used in a classic devide and conquer fashon. Marxists always devide. In Europe they focused on class warefare. Here they have focused on race primarily and included pretty much everything else. E pluribus unum means out of the many, one. But intersectionality is being used as a tool to seperate the one into many manageable sections. Be well Mega. Peace and love!

I get it that one would want to put up a defense if one feels marginalized, but if the defense is to marginalize other groups, what's the point? As soon as you say you've been discriminated against by another group, you're betraying a prejudice against that group that will marginalize individual humans who just happen to be members of that group. If you defend yourself by saying ALL members of that group behave that way, you're doing exactly what you claim they do.
