a few things: the trope is indeed "cis/het white male". being single is a possible and somewhat humorous addition to the trope that worsens the entitlement such people have and the misogyny they tend to exude, but it's not mandatory. being cisgendered and heterosexual both are, however. and since you're neither cis nor het by your own admission, not only does the stereotype not apply to you, you are infinitely more likely to be targeted by the nazis in the looming neo-nazi takeover of the united states (which is a phrase i use with absolutely deadly sincerity) than you are at all by any sort of minority group for nearly any reason.
also, you will never, ever, EVER be lumped in with neo-nazis and fascists just for being Le White Man by any person who is actually anti-nazi and concerned about civil rights. "all white dudes are automatically racist and terrible and secret nazis" is not a statement that civil rights activists, trans rights activists, black lives matter activists, etc, who are the people probably most likely to make such statements if the nazi expulsion you described occurs, will ever make, both because they do not believe it and because it is untrue. if anything, the fact that you think you're going to be targeted for your whiteness and maleness would be worse to them, because white supremacists think the exact same thing. "all white people and especially white men benefit from privilege granted to them by racism" is more accurate and something they are more likely to say, because they already do.
i will pause here to clarify that i do not believe you are a white supremacist and i am not intending to imply that you are a white supremacist just because you think this, but the fact remains that this is part of white supremacist rhetoric.
...a "dangerous populist shift toward minority-pandering" will never happen and coincidentally also happens to be another thing that white supremacists think. racism doesn't go both ways; minorities are not going to flip the switch and start oppressing the damn crackers for our mayonnaise-like pallor. like, frankly, this is a little stupid.
it's not the activists I am worried about. You are quite correct that they understand the difference.
As for the "Dont flip the switch", you are incorrect-- I have indeed experienced direct racism from minorities, just for being white. It is real. I have experienced it.
That is why the rhetoric is indeed dangerous from the supremacists-- it is not entirely wrong; it is human nature to treat the "in crowd" better than the "out crowd." It takes conscious effort to not do so, and most people are not willing to invest that, because you have to actually think about what you are doing, and why. Most people simply don't do that, regardless of what group you come from. It's just the way humans tend toward operating. (The more extreme form of it, is exactly what underlies the uncanny valley. Racism happens at the edge of it-- the out-group is just a teeny bit different, rather than sufficiently alien to illicit strong repulsion straight up.)
The danger, is exactly because people do not think about this-- actually think about this. They seem to always just REACT to this. The supremacists react with fear and thus with violence. The oppressed react with suspicion and anger, which leads to ostracism, and thus to systemic disadvantage. Both are immediate reactions, rather than what is needed-- Actually evaluating, and suppressing impulsive behaviors.
The what is not grounds to fail to evaluate the why. I have already personally experienced such things. It is not unreasonable at all to worry about it increasing, as civic order breaks down; what is under the surface, will come out.
I just do not fear what the supremacists are ACTUALLY worried about-- Not being on top. I have never been on top, it is not a fear I have. I am fearful of being sidelined to the point that I don't matter in any conversation; See also, the "Generic white guy" rhetoric above. "Not an important group, so not important" == "No platform", and thus "no representation." It does not help matters that the FUCKING NAZIS want to be the group that offers that platforming. (The fucking LAST people I want representing me, and my interests, ARE THOSE FUCKING CUNTS.)
I am of the opinion that the color of your fucking skin is completely and totally irrelevant to anything whatsoever, except maybe how likely you are to get a sunburn. Do you live near the poverty line? THEN HERE'S ASSISTANCE. Gender, Race, Religious affiliation-- DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER-- Being near the poverty line is what fucking matters. Society needs to stop getting distracted from superficial bullshit, and focus on what is actually causing harm-- BEING IMPOVERISHED.
That does not mean I think racism does not exist-- As I clearly pointed out, I do NOT believe that-- as I have personally experienced the reverse form of it. What I point out, is that racism IS A FUCKING STUPID IMPULSIVE REACTION, that you should NOT allow to color your decision making, ON ANYTHING.
Denial that people DO allow it, in either direction, is how it continues to persist-- not how you remove it from the situation.
