It is indeed self-contradictory, and needs a reductio ad absurdum to refute it. The movie I shared is that absurdity played out on screen.
Identity politics tries to put us into demographic boxes and label those boxes "identity". Then intersectionality comes along and starts refining the categories of people in the boxes. For example, a gay Latino man may have male privilege, but it is intersected by lack of privilege due to lgbt and ethnicity discrimination.....A person's identity is too many intersections to apply broadly across a culture. It's absurd. :)
