I have talked this issue and disproven common left wing myths. I’m also educated in sociology and specialize in the symbolic interactionism perspective even though I know both critical theory and structural functionalism.
Culture is an aspect of the individual. Historically societies were isolated from each other, then had more and more contact with each other. Culture spread slowly from individual to individual, then from group to group till we have the current world where culture is a completely free exercise in individuality with the interconnected world we live in.
Things like cultural appropriation and the non-existence of reverse discrimination aren’t fact but parts of the critical theory and progressive ideology which leads to miscommunication when someone say that they are indeed facts, ignoring the fact that symbolic interactions and the libertarian ideology and structural functionalism and the conservative ideology exist.
I wrote a symbolic interactionism and libertarian based paper here a long while back on how all discrimination is collectivism. It’s a good read with some great quotes as well in there too. If an individual is reduced to be treated by their real, alleged, or suspected group affiliation then that is discrimination regardless of what group it is.
Optimistic Skeptic is a much better explainer of this issue as they have read several of my past posts and can better describe my work as reader of mine who highlights, reccomends, and comments on my work.
The individual is the greatest minority on earth. It is the ultimate minority as the world ways most heavily upon it.
Also, people who know left wing social science, but not the other alternative theories in social science are the worst. They automatically act like know nothing know it all. The comment section of the Huffington Post is one of the worst examples. From what I learned through interactions with people there, people only know the left wing perspective when they spout it as a universal fact. Theories are nice and all, but do people actually take the time to verify if they’re facts? Do they look at alternative theories to compare and contrast to?

Wikipedia explains in the current and past iterations of the articles the concepts and the debates on them. As a reader of Wendy McElroy and Camille Paglia, I added the last one. You didn’t discuss it, but is also a left wing critical theory topic.
