That quote, attributed Jeffrey Escofier, is very interesting.
Nationalism of the "modern" philosophies of the 20th century attempted to define nationalism away from ethnic identity, and toward shared ideals such as democracy, freedom, and equality. It is interesting to note that liberalism and communism both attempted to do this (though obviously fascism and Nazism took the opposite tack).
The post-modern era is seeing a back-sliding to the more tribal pursuit of ethnic identity, away from the "modern" ideals that inspired the UU Seven Principles.
Philosopher Ken Wilber has a very interesting narrative of this historical development, in his book Trump and a Post-Truth World.
This doesn't sound like a truly open mind and heart to me. When he hears marginalized people (where he puts marginalized in scare quotes) asking him to listen to their viewpoints, he thinks he's being silenced completely. He sounds like he's against being asked to be mindful of his privileges and of the way his actions come across to others and the harm they may cause others.
I am still completely baffled that there's backlash against the idea that we should be more inclusive, that we should listen to voices that are often pushed to the margins, and that we should strive to understand the systems that benefit us that others don't have the benefit of.
