  I am a “privileged whitevl guy” who married into a central American refugee family, and I can say there are a lot of people in developing countries that love human rights, but hate when they are applied to specific groups. Because if everyone has nothing, trying to help marginalized groups seems unfair to the majority who is also oppressed.

  So if you want to fight femicide, or anti-LGBT discrimination, people not in that group often get angry because they want help too.

  I obviously don’t agree, but I understand the viewpoint given their life experiences. What I don’t understand is when I meet Americans/1st world people who express the same sentiments. They need to go fuck themselves in the ass with a rusty spork and die of sepsis.

  Only evil people and the ignorant are opposed to human rights.
