Not sure if it's pareidolia or whether it's an actual thing.

In the west, the majority group generally seems dismissally of identity pol, whereas minorities generally seem very interested in identity pol.

I am not sure I can follow your line of thought. Isn't that the same as saying water is wet? Obviously politics focusing on issues faced by minorities will be of interest for minority groups?

I guess you need to explain better what exactly you mean with "identity politics", as I get the feeling you are referring to some right-wing strawman re-definition of the concept?
