"As a". I have noticed that many people when speaking or writing start their sentence with "As a". Followed by an array of PC protected classes such as, "as a women, or "as a person of color" or "as a single mother",etc.

As a casual observer, I think you’re niggling.

Yup, sure have noticed it.
Lazy ‘Net rhetoric.
“As a single mother....” —> what follows is some statement about how she should be cut some slack
“As a mother....” —> what follows is some statement about how she’s uniquely qualified to opine as an expert on any subject
You can also tell when someone wants to be taken Very Seriously when they do not use any contractions (like now < |:)~ ).

To: Rottweilerson
As a professional editor, I would say that the expression you decry is legitimate, if not overused.
But as a “Freeper,” I would agree that the expression is frequently a signal that some pseudo-outrage is about to follow.
In short, when used to explain the speaker’s qualifications/credentials or perhaps special circumstances which led to his statement, the phrase is helpful. However, when meant to suggest that the speaker’s opinion is sacrosanct or to warn in advance that dissent will not be tolerated, it smacks of brow-beating.
