If was actually smart, had a real position, or used puns or satire effectively, maybe you could claim this was cancel culture run amok.

Asians and Jews too, since they enjoy proximity to white privilege. I suspect that Nigerian immigrants will be next in line too, as they will be hard pressed to explain why they're doing much better than Haitian immigrants.
black Harvard law professor Lani Guinier and Henry Louis Gates Jr., chairman of Harvard's African-American studies department, stirred up a black Harvard alumni reunion with questions about where the university's new black students were coming from.
About 8 percent, or about 530, of Harvard's undergraduates were black, Mr. Gates and Ms. Guinier said, but somewhere between one-half and two-thirds of the black students were "West Indian and African immigrants or their children, or to a lesser extent, children of biracial couples."
it's an attitude more than a color. like, even if you're black, if you're complaining that there's not enough quinoa in your quinoa avocado tofurkey salad, you're being white.
Rednecks are as white as you can get. They're like dumber naz is.
Being white isn't just about being an insufferable liberal, or an insufferable conservative. It's the cultural history and experience of white people. Basically, believing that you are some sort of Master Race, be it because of your supposed intelligence, supposed cultural or moral superiority, or supposed racial superiority. White people are just "supremacists".
I was told once that I'm black because of my Irish ancestry (because apparently being black is about being descended from oppressed people), but I've never before come across the idea that the Irish might not be white.
Yes, even if one thinks somebody did something wrong. You do not "cancel" people. Ever. That is literally (figuratively) a lynch mob with pitchforks and zero clue or jurisdiction. Aka a crime. (Hopefully soon a actual crime in the UK and then elsewhere.)
Cancel culture is happening on the right as well. State Republican parties censuring (not censoring, different thing) politicians who didn't have their lips locked tight on the former president's ass, or the former president himself with his constant claim that he will help campaign against any Republican who doesn't worship him properly.

Yes, but that's inter-party politics and only politicians on politicians. Who on the left gets canceled that's just an every day person with a job? I'm sure there have to be some examples, but by and large the normal people that get canceled most often are conservatives with unpopular opinions.
The left will also cancel itself, much like you are describing about the Republican party. AOC and her gang actively work to primary out democrats that aren't being woke enough. It's foolish because every district is

White Hispanics are the worst, according to a bunch of people who hate George Zimmerman for the color of his skin. And who probably say "Latinx".
