Using the world-wide pandemic to further your "there is no racial or gender bias" is actually repulsive.

Have to agree, you can't compare celebrities complaining about smaller things DURING the pandemic to things that have gone on in the past... One thing being a huge issue doesn't make smaller problems irrelevant. Obviously some things are less important now than they were 4 months ago... Brexit is a prime example... But that doesn't mean it wasn't important - or that it'll never be an important discussion again.

Its sort of like the logic that "poor people in rich countries have nothing to complain about because they have smartphones while poor people in Africa are starving". Or the current (worrying) "the government is suddenly beyond question because A VIRUS!" narrative.

Inequality doesn't stop being a problem just because there are also other problems.
