One of the biggest ironies about the multiculturalist intersectional regressive leftist social justice ideology is an inadvertent subconscious superiority complex that many critics have named "bigotry of low expectations".
This is when a "woke" social justice ideologue, most often white, thinks that he or she is advocating for, speaking on behalf of, or helping "oppressed minorities", without realizing that he or she is actually inadvertently demeaning those people by considering them somehow lesser capable, lesser able, or in some other way inferior and not equal.
There are many, many examples of this, but I think this one, which came up recently, is very illustrative: Darren Criss will no longer play LGBT characters.
The subtitle of the article is the most telling part. Emphasis mine:
Darren Criss, the savior of gay actors everywhere. Actors who will never be able to reach his level of excellence, and therefore need his help to be lifted up, by him graciously offering the acting roles to them instead of taking those roles for himself. How magnanimous of him!
Yeah. What a pompous prick, full of himself, thinking he's better than everybody else.

"Darren Criss says he will no longer accept LGBT scripts because he doesn't want to deprive gay actors of roles."What he doesn't realize is that by saying that, he is considering himself to be better than gay actors. That if a gay actor, any gay actor, were to compete for the same role with him, he would quite likely win the role. Therefore the only way that the gay actor would have any chance is for him to willingly step down and reject the role.
