Seriously, though, why is it that whenever someone on the right is somewhat critical of a non-white and/or non-male person they're being racist and/or sexist?

Eh, it's the same reason if you tell a black man he speaks surprisingly well (or use terms like "articulate") it is a touchy subject.

Women who are strong willed have put up with being called a ***** or bossy or mean so much when men are not held to that same regard (female bosses deal with this a lot more than male bosses who exhibit the same behaviors) so there's a red alert any time that criticism is brought up.

For example, were the people who were condemning Kamala for being aggressive or angry Trump supporters? Because even on his best day, he is infinitely more angry and aggressive. So are they condemning her for her behavior when they prop up someone demonstrably worse? Or are they just complaining that a woman dared have a strong opinion or outlook?

Just like when a person calls a black man articulate, was he really being articulate beyond your reasonable expectations? Or were you just expecting him to be so "ghetto" and incapable of speaking properly that even the basic level of communication considered "impressive?"

The expectation for someone to not meet a relatively low bar is not a great place to start when evaluating a person, after all.
