I am speaking generally, there will always be exceptions to the rule. I guess sexism doesn't exist either because Margaret Thatcher was once in charge.
Immigrants and nationals of POC probably felt super powerful and influential earlier this year during the literal riots and random attacks on members of the public who weren't white.

Because the media and arts are key to controlling societal power and have massive influence.

I wouldn't say arts are key to controlling societal power in the slightest and while they have a higher concentration of LGBT people I don't think that means it's "ruled" by particularly but I digress.

Who committed those 'hate crimes' and what were they?

Is that a serious question?

Also, I wonder how many would have been recorded against straight white men if that was even allowed. The prejudiced and bigoted **** I hear the LGBT community say about straight white people is beyond wild.

So you've heard **** said against white straight people it's prejudiced and bigoted, but when you hear from a gay man that sexuality can often be an issue and a barrier it's "victimhood" and "pretending".
If you're willing to accept that white straight people can be victim to prejudicial behaviour, then it stands to reason the same can apply to LGBT+ people and POC and if you don't think that prejudice manifests in decision making that negatively impacts someones success and acts as a barrier, then I am not sure what to say.
And it's with that comment I will end my participation in this conversation.
