Woah, I got whiplash from that whataboutism there, go easy on me. You were basically complaining that people should be deplatformed from youtube for criticizing Trump "for being white". I was saying that happens on a negligible level, so really it just seems like you are crying "they should go after people on the Left too!" out of some misguided appeal to political fairness.
If you want to discuss what Crowder said, we can, but it doesn't look good for him. Now, I get the strong urge to be like "well, what if you replace the words Crowder is saying with 'white' it would be perfectly fine with youtube!", because that is what people in your position always go to, but I can only recommend looking into Protected Groups in the United States and why they exist at all. This desperation for certain people to see "Whites", a dumb category because it is so non-monolithic, as being oppressed and downtrodden is getting ridiculous.
Think about what could even be comparable insults to "white" people Crowder could be leveling in the clip: Crowder is making jokes about gay stereotypes and derogatory terms ("lispy queer" and such). What would these be if he were trying to insult "white" people in the same way? That white people don't have rhythm and can't dance? Calling someone a "honkey"? Such generalized insults for white people don't even exist in the US, though there are plenty for various minority groups.
South Park even made a (brilliant, imo) joke sorta about this back in the day:

You...want me to show you a case of a hypothetical Leftist video about how Evangelicals need to be removed? I don't know of such a video. Shouldn't you be the one to find a video of a Leftist that is expressing violence against Christians that is just being tolerated (I guess in this instance meaning 'monetized') by Youtube?
