Identity-left? I dunno, but there has been a surge of different ideas from the left and a new presentation for old ones, just as with the right. Not sure I'd call it alt-left though, they're fairly open about their rather heavy left-ness (yay for words).

Sounds like 'alt-left' is a sugarcoated way to identify left wing nutjobs. Just like nowadays stupid kids are supposed to be described as 'special' or some other term that doesn't signal that there is a problem, even though there is.

Who knows. I live in the land of the "pasty-white, green-haired crazy identity left" and "backslick, pompous, pretend-to not be fascist right", so I have a certain amount of dislike for extreme views, one or the other.

In this instance, I take no issue with the wish for diversity, but the fact that it appears to be diversity simply for its own sake and it completely collides with the setting and canon as the character in question has two very famous and important, and very white, parents.
