Come to the Dark Side, Joss! We have Cookies!

Here is one more data point in the ongoing argument that Social Justice Warriors and Political Correcting Officers and Thought Police and (as I call them) Morlocks are not really creatures of the Left.

They are not Leftists, not Liberals, but are in fact the opposite. They use Leftwing terminology and vocabulary, but they stand for the very opposite ideals.

Leftists are antiracists and antibigots, who want a color blind society where all are judged on their merit and character.
Morlocks are pure pro-racist bigots, who hate straight white males because of their outward characteristics of skin color and genitalia, and merit and character be damned.

He is being excoriated for the latest AVENGERS movie, the wildly popular latest entry in the most wildly popular film franchise in human history.

The Avengers, if my fellow geeks will kindly recollect, has been solidly on the side of anti-prejudice and anti-bigotry since their inception in the 1960s, back when this message actually had some meaning.

The Avengers has always been like the bridge crew of STAR TREK: American supersoldier Captain America alongside the Soviet superspy Black Widow together with wealthy Tony Stark and poverty-stricken Luke Cage, the Caucasian Wasp (no pun intended) and the Korean Mantis, the awesome Black Panther, Monarch of Wakanda, and the not so awesome (but still a favorite of mine) Nightthrasher, a hightech streetfighter with a skateboard. Not to mention Norse gods and Greek demigods, a guy who controls ants, and the ultimate minority, the mutants.
