Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

“Let us not join some misinformed people in their unfair anti-China racist stereotypes and xenophobic attacks, because this important Asian neighbor is the Philippines’ traditional ally and longstanding trade partner for over 1,000 uninterrupted years,” Liong said. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/fake-news-racism-more-dangerous-than-coronavirus

Arizona’s “long history of race-based voting discrimination,” combined with legislators’ “false, race-based” claims of voter fraud “unmistakably reveal” an intent to discriminate on the basis of race, the 9th Circuit announced. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/appeals-court-finds-arizona-intended-to-suppress-nonwhite-votes

Transporting hundreds of inmates from Rikers (in Queens) to Soho is an experience that begins at 6 in the morning. It entails rounding up hundreds of prisoners, many groups going to other boroughs like Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx.

If humans simply cannot help their tribal instincts, then a truly multicultural democracy has a big challenge ahead of it. The emotions triggered are so primal, that conflict, rather than any form of common ground, can spiral into a grinding cold civil war. And you can’t legislate or educate this away. One fascinating study Klein quotes found that “priming white college students to think about the concept of white privilege led them to express more racial resentment in subsequent surveys.” Anti-racist indoctrination actually feeds racism.
