It's all about management of the population. Ideally yes, everyone should be treated equally but sometimes pragmatism dictates that a situation is more easily diffused by dealing more promptly/ harshly with some than others.
I think you mean the symptoms of certain grievances are dealt with more harshly, because the grievances themselves are either beyond solution, not recognised as "valid" grievances at all, or are considered hateful.
Case in point, if you believe in multicultural Britain, which everyone it seems is required to do, then there is no dominant British culture, there can't be, or a prevailing English culture for that matter, because there are no indigenous Brits, and as there's no indigenous Brits, there's no such thing as an indigenous culture (cherishing ones culture is the exclusive preserve of ethnic minorities). Britain is a multi-cultural, multi ethnic society where everything is whatever and there's no need for ethnic minorities to integrate, or as the left like to call them the "global majority", coz there's nowt to integrate with.
Anyone who disagrees is a racist. So those who believe there is an indigenous population and there is an indigenous culture and seek to embrace it, to promote it and defend it, are flummoxed, what to do? The left despises them and the right exploit them, hijacking their discontentment for their own ends.
Clowns to the left of me....
Jokers to the right....
