Oh please. These two goobers make it sound like Trump and Musk are in a MMA fight or something like that. No you two idiots, they're arguing in that most manly of environments, competing social media outlets.
Couldn't you just picture Trump and Musk wearing mawashis like sumo wrestlers........no on second thought nobody needs to see that.

Is the clearly-not-aryan man in the photo used to illustrate meant to represent 'white men' who are upset they can't use the n-word at work, or a minority who's been called the n-word at work? I'm confused.
White men can't tell their black coworker that he's a member of an inferior race or the receptionist that she'd be pretty if she lost a few pounds but not from her tits because of woke.

I sort of get it. While I'm guessing the article is more about "people that can't take a joke," there is a certain amount of egg shell walking, but I don't think it's limited just to white men. It's everything. I remember having a black co worker who was lazy, a liar, threatened to kill me, and terrible at her job. None of those things were because she was black, they were because she was a terrible person and terrible coworker, however she made it about race. I didn't care she was black. I'd called out plenty of white coworkers who were God awful at their job, I just hate incompetence more than anything else.
I've seen male coworkers get drug into HR because they called out a female coworker's BS. It wasn't the fact she was female and they were male, it was strictly because she wasn't qualified for the job and was a worthless employee. Age, sex, race, whatever shouldn't shield you from being a terrible employee.
I think it's a cultural thing. People who are terrible people have learned they can game the system by exploiting things. They can cry something as a get out of jail free card when really they should be fired for being an incompetent employee. It's the mind set that has someone yelling rape when they regret consenting to a hook up after the fact.
Granted there is still a bunch of BS in the workplace. Sexual harassment does happen as does racism.

Reminds me of our president. The point of this is that it's everyone you're talking about, not just certain minorities. If you think you're walking on eggshells, imagine what others are doing.
Do you have some personal account of this or something? I'm curious where this is coming from. This kind of conclusion is very difficult to draw unless you're VERY close to the situation, which I'm guessing you were not.

Ya Republicans do use the fact they're Republicans to hide that they're assholes. Political opinion isn't a protected class, though, so it's harder for them to only use the fact that they're Republican, but most of them just fall back on religious reasons. If Trump wasn't the president, he would 100% be someone in the workplace who would complain to HR that he's getting harassed because of his political beliefs when really he was just a horrible employee.
Like I said, it's a cultural thing. People have learned that they can be an asshole and hide behind some protected class to continue to being an asshole without consequences. Unfortuantely, I see it way more frequently with minorities, but that's only because it's easier for assholes who are part of a miniority group to use it as an excuse. I don't think the ratio of assholes in a minority group is any larger or smaller than a non minority group.
Personally, no. My cousin, though ended up in a heap of trouble over a situation like this. He met a girl on Tinder, they hooked up, and she texted him a few days later, saying she regretted it because her girlfriend said he was a loser and that he raped her. She filed a police report and wanted to press charges Thankfully, he still had the text message from her saying what she would do, but it didn't stop it from being a legal nightmare for him. He lost his job over it and had to shell out a bunch of money for a lawyer. He's no longer the same person and he won't even talk to any woman anymore. He's got a new job but he's paying back a ton of debt from having to live without a job and a lawyer. In the end, he wasn't found guilty of anything but it dragged on for nearly a year.

Is it? I see it with white people all the time. "Brown people took my job and are ruining the country", etc.
That's a sad story. There is an element of it that does not ring true, because if it was a long drawn out battle for your cousin, it was a long drawn out battle for someone else as well, with little hope of any payoff other than "justice". Someone who simply wants to shake the stigma of being with a "loser" doesn't file a police report (unless they are wealthy, and then maybe so). They simply make false accusations.
Her saying he's a loser does not mean he didn't rape her. Her saying she would accuse him of rape does not mean he didn't rape her. Now, it's quite possible that he didn't, but I'm not sure how a screenshot could prove that unless the screenshot said she knew he didn't but would falsely accuse him anyway for... reasons. I do understand that you know your cousin better than I do, but I also understand that there are many motivating factors to believe a cousin.
If this is providing a cornerstone for you to generalize that many women are falsely accusing men of rape because they will somehow benefit personally from this as a way to somehow game the system, I think you should re-evaluate that belief.
I was on a class field trip in high school when an acquaintance was arrested for rape during the field trip. He claimed he was falsely accused, and many people were quick to take up his side. Looking back at how it played out, I think he was guilty.
