discrimination against groups that are marginalised in 2021 has reduced somewhat
Does that prediction inlude poor white people, BDSM people, generally everybody who has to strongly hide part of their identity when living in cities or only those groups that compatible with intersectional thinking?
Just an outside view that over the last decades, a number of groups who previously had to suppress their identities/were vilified are now more accepted (e.g., LGBTQ+, feminists, vegans), and I expect this trend to continue.
I’m curious if you expect this trend to change, or maybe we’re talking about slightly different things here?
The groups LGBTQ+, feminists, vegans are part of one group of values and people we moved to a point where people with that group of values have no reason anymore to hide their identity when being in cities.
Most of the identities where people currently have a lot to lose when they reveal their identity don’t belong to that cluster. To the extend that the trend of that cluster becomes stronger continues, many people for whom it’s currently very costly to reveal their identity won’t gain anything and might even face a higher cost of revealing their identity.
Generally, the more polarized a society is, the higher the amount of people who have something to lose by revealing their identity. I see rising polarization.

I had something like “everybody who has to strongly hide part of their identity when living in cities” in mind
That suggests that groups that at the moment have no support at all will start to get support. Why do you think so?
