It would be interesting to model modern identity politics as a kind of conspiracy. Here is an "Enemy Inside" variant that applies to any individual of a problematic identity. When some combination of tags white, male, straight, religious, disagrees-with-this applies to you, you are in a conspiracy whether you know it or not. It is a "conspiracy by default" that you must opt-out of in various ways, most importantly by being vocally supportive of the conspiracy theory itself!
As a conspiracy it blurs the distinction between "theory" and "practice" because there's a valid point to be made about systemic racism, and yet the theory goes much further.
