The question here is, though, whether they really think you're evil, or if they're just using the notion as a crutch, an excuse, a utililty.research indicates perceived dehumanization prompts dehumanization as a response
Well, yeah! It's difficult to empathize with someone who thinks you're evil.

The left was calling me evil long before I started getting annoyed enough about it to say anything back. I'm white and male, you see.
White Males: the same guys who codified blacks as being 3/5 of a person in the founding documents of the nation?
Yes, as opposed to black slave owners who codified them only on sales ledgers. What's the difference? It was the thinking of the times.

Yeah and people used to think the sun was a god and the earth was flat. What's your point?
Whites were “dehumanizing” others well long before you were around.
Ask the Aztec's enemies how human they felt. Or ask the black slavers how human they thought their prey were.
You are singling one group out purely for political/moral gain.
The person I responded to singled out the one group.
That was in the specific context of current progressive thought. You just pulled a strawman out as a counter as opposed to responding to the actual comment.
He was talking about his view of what is going on right now, you decided to take the easy way out and go with "whites did X first" when they really didn't do it first, because people have been doing it since one caveman argued with another and was losing.
He played the race card.
