I'm usually all about treating everyone as equally as possible, but I think if you're talking about something specific to the "race" (say now, how black women's hair has to be styled differently due to physical differences) then it's acceptable to mention "race"

If you're looking at some kind of demographic, it's also all right to mention it. Idk if it's true that conservative white dudes like gay/trans porn more than anyone else, but I think it's ok to mention that. Especially since the consumption of gay/trans porn on it's own isn't necessarily a negative (unless there's anything non-consential going on ir someone is underage). It's more the hypocracy of it all that gets peeps riled up

(I hate the term "race" which is why I shoved it in between quotation marks)

Agreed, but the sentiment I've been seeing is that white people = bad because most of the "rich white dude" politicians are somehow the root of our oppression, and them being white is important apparently. It's not a "white" thing, but a rich politician thing. Every other color of politician and rich person is fucking us all the same, and the "white" thing is a distraction from what's important and what matters--that our politicians and government aren't working for the people, regardless of race. But it's better for them if we're all angry at eachother, so here everyone is chasing after somewhere easy to put their hatred. And here it is emerging as racism.
