The only reason the argument is somehow suspect, is because people can't say anything about a group of people that's not considered racist by some "professionally offended on behalf of others".
Anything negative I mean. They might be OK with 100% praise (though even that has been accused of "idealizing" and other BS by the "professionally offended on behalf of others").
So people saying e.g. "I'm not racist against X, I have X friends, but statistically X cause most of Y (a bad thing)" are considered racist and their qualifier is seen as bogus or hypocritical.
Even if statistically, according to accepted official numbers, X indeed cause most of Y.
We really need to put a cultural moratorium/ban on being offended on behalf of others.
I'm sure someone will pop up about how maybe the "others" are just too afraid to speak, but in practice I'm just not seeing that very often, but I am seeing a lot of people trying to basically culturally appropriate someone else's victimhood. And of course the people doing that are the most tedious and annoying spokespeople possible for whatever is being said.
What's worse is that most of these people do it for the because it's a fashion, harmless, gives you instant media credits.
In the days when it was most needed (in the segregation times, when gay and AIDS was a dirty word, etc) only people with balls supported those minorities, and those people could not care less about BS "politically correct" names and such.
Now, everybody and their dog support causes just because it's fashionable and scores them points.
Such opportunists are worse than active bigots -- if Nazi's where in fashion, they'd score points by being nazis.
