Supporting one or a few aspects of identity politics is not the same thing as supporting every single aspect of identity politics. I can support identity politics within the right by saying homogeneity for Europe, Asia and Africa. I can also support identity politics within the left by saying minorities deserve equal rights to everyone else. However, I can reject identity politics on the right if it means minorities should be treated as second class citizens. I can also reject identity politics on the left if it means minorities should be given special treatment superseding that of the majority. This isn't a black and white issue like you are trying to paint it as because it has a lot of nuances and grey in it.
