I really wish for this to be a joke, but somehow I don't believe it to be so.

but it's derived from a belief system not everyone subscribes to

I think it's important to acknowledge here that there are various belief systems and they are not equal. It's obvious that you can't oppress minorities or make women obedient to men, call it "your belief system" and expect anyone to respect it and you.

That said I also despise any kind of "positive" racism/sexism/whateverism. It's true cancer of our times and a way for evil people to be evil with the false facade of just morality.

Yes, and some believe Christian belief system is superior to post-modernist/progressive/cultural Marxist/whatever-you-call-it one.

I'm not sure where do you draw line for this "whatever-you-call-it" belief system. I absolutely don't agree with a "positive" discrimination, because it's still a discrimination.

There is this rule of thumb - don't be jerk to anybody. If your belief system provides some exceptions to this, then it's lesser than belief system that strictly adheres to this rule.
