Or maybe some people have trouble empathizing with marginalized minorities who want representation because they've never been in their shoes.

Most people also have trouble empathizing with people who lash out and get hostile anytime they receive feedback that can be even slightly perceived as criticism.

If you're wondering who would ever do such a thing, I encourage you to visit the nearest restroom and look into the large piece of glass hanging above the sink.

This is how you started, and it didn't get any better as the conversation continued:

Nice knee jerk response to valid criticism. It is objectively difficult to support a cause when [...] knee jerking shit heads like yourself

Does that sound like something that "can be even slightly perceived as criticism"? Perhaps there's some room for improvement. You could try not insulting people if you don't like people being offended by what you say.
