Anonymous asked: Re: all minority people hold a single view. I don't even think it's always the in-group majority view, just the activist rhetoric view. Like, I see a lot of anti-racist people hating on black people who marry white people. But in practice 96% of the black community approves of marriages between black people and white people! 96%! You don't see that in tumblr anti-racist circles at all, though, because saying that it's ok makes you a valid target for bullying.

Yes, that’s very accurate.  By majority, I meant a power majority in certain activist circles.  I’m not even sure it would be a numbers majority in those activist circles if the people with the power weren’t scaring people into agreeing with them a lot of the time.  (“You’re not a good enough activist unless you believe ________.” “You’re a total waste of space as a human being if you believe ________.” etc.)
