So I'd agree that, all else equal, prejudice against a member of an advantaged group is not as bad as prejudice against a member of a disadvantaged group. But it seems unnecessary to go further and say that it's not prejudice, or that the target of it isn't allowed to complain.
Or you can acknowledge that the whole thing is, just as it was in the civil rights movement, a conscious or subconscious manner of thinking designed to prevent oppressed groups from speaking out.

Why not both? Seriously. Some white people are using this as an opportunity to de-platform POC, and Jeong's behavior (and the tacit acceptance of it among the left) is counterproductive to genuine progressive ideals. I don't see an inherent contradiction there.

No, it's only counterproductive to white people's ideals and staying in the position of being respected benefactors of non-white progress. Not being called out for the abusive shit.
