white, straight males.

What does that have to do with being hated? As groups, Asians and Jews are among the most successful. Yet look at what those two groups are currently facing. The people directing hate at Whites refer to Asians and Jews as 'white adjacent' or 'next-level white people'; meaning in their view, as bad/evil as Whites are, Asians and Jews are worse.

I'm always fascinated by people whose first reaction to a group being the subject of hate, counter with, 'but they're so successful'. Speaks volumes.

Because it's all part of the same thing: Modern identity politics being used to control the members of a group, exclude the non-conforming from the group, and generate hate against those outside the group. It's mostly the same people doing all of it.
