Some would, I'm sure. But others would argue that it'd be good if Asian writers felt free to set stories about slavery in an Asian setting, right? It's a hard case to paint as a 'great example'.
And this phrase is meaningless. What "dogma and coercion" are right-wing demagogues exploiting on "both sides"? It all reads as if they really want to say "let people be racist/homophobic" etc but can't bring themselves to say itpic.twitter.com/3G8ViUxGAi

The reference to 'dogma and coercion' is explained in the next sentence: 'a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty.'pic.twitter.com/Cp9XL03kmv

As for 'racism and homophobia', you're clearly seeing something that Noam Chomsky missed, right? As discussed, none of the cited examples are about homophobia. And the racism example is about an Asian writer writing about slavery in Asia.
