I find the fact if a person tries to criticize a darling of the left (at the moment) that said critic is immediately categorized as (insert whatever word applies-) "phobic" in an effort to completely discredit their words to be a very lazy argumentative tactic.... their words might even make sense if people bothered to read them objectively.

Amen...complety agree!!

This is an example of lazy thinking by the BBC and sadly affects a lot of people.
The logic goes that if you criticize or challenge anyone who is classed as in a "minority" the main or only reason that you are doing so is that they are a minority. It jumps to the false assumption of the speakers intent and completely ignores the most important thing which is what the person is ACTUALLY saying.
