It’s a perfect example of what is known as the “progressive stack,” a ranked hierarchy of minority groups, with those deemed to be the most oppressed given the highest status.
When the term “progressive stack” first appeared a few years ago, it specifically referred to the waiting list for speakers at left-wing meetings, with minorities being allowed to speak first ahead of white men. But disputes arose as to which minorities got to speak ahead of which other minorities, so a formalized ranking of minority demographics evolved, with those higher on the list getting priority over those lower down. (Needless to say, white cisgendered able-bodied straight men by definition are at the very bottom of the progressive stack, and are ranked so low that they are always excluded from the list altogether.)
From its humble beginnings as a guide for who gets to cut in line for the microphone at socialist gatherings, the progressive stack has evolved into a new caste system, a complete re-ordering of social classes intended to reverse historical mainstream norms, with straight people, white people and men now deemed to be the new Untouchables.
Because no one person or organization is in charge of the progressive stack, it is always in flux, with the ranking of each group’s oppression-level constantly shifting up and down according to current social trends and fads. So it’s wise to check in every now and then to see where the rankings currently stand, since these rankings determine the rules for all social interactions in 21st-century America.
The sign (which even appears distantly in Google Street View) lists the progressive stack rankings as of February 2020 like so:

“(Needless to say, white cisgendered able-bodied straight men by definition are at the very bottom of the progressive stack, and are ranked so low that they are always excluded from the list altogether.)”
Jews and Asians are also off the list, one should note.
My wife and I sometimes discuss which of us ranks lower on the intersectional totem pole: her, as a pro-Israel Jew from an upper-middle-class suburban background, or me, as a white Protestant male from a poorer, Appalachian background. We’re both “cis het” conservative Republicans in a high tax bracket who voted for Trump, so it’s probably a tie anyway. It’s all the same gulag.
With Doomberg running as a Democrat, order the Short Stack.
This is crazy, that these liberals, who say they want equality and promote equality for all, have caste system regarding who is more oppressed.
I think you also have to overlay politics into their caste system. For example, conservative minded black women such as Diamond and Silk, are going to be ranked below other black people, who presumeably are liberal.
And so I wonder, if liberal white women are ranked ahead of conservative black, either women or men.
And if we get into the 50+ gender identities, good luck with sorting all that out, with regards to how oppressed each one is compared to the others.
The left is waging open war against equal treatment and fairness. What they mean when they say they are fighting for equality is only equality of results (i.e. radical egalitarianism like Marxists have always fought for). And naturally only they are brilliant enough to know how to discriminate against and handicap people in just the right ways that eventually they are sure everyone will turn out exactly the same. In other words they are bizarrely naïve, bigoted, and plagued with God complexes.
Just the current face they put to the world in order to gain power.
And if Doomberg (a fascist white male) actually wins the Democrat nomination, you could call it an Upside-Down-Sh!t-Stack...
