Sorry, I don't believe this story at all. I believe this is a story people tell themselves to feel better about "the others". The whole analytic lens of white people against minorities is purely made up in my opinion and I have seen no evidence to the contrary. On the other side justification was made up for real institutional discrimination against white people with the same lies that spawned accusations like this. But that wasn't to combat racism, it was to satisfy egoistical vanity and weak characters. I belong to a minority and I feel pressured to state this whenever I engage with people that bring forward such ideas and that is not a mistake. Back to reality: People never cared much about race. There are some exceptions to this and there is still prejudice against certain minorities. But I firmly believe your characterization doesn't understand the perspective of Trump supporters very well.

"The whole analytic lens of white people against minorities is purely made up in my opinion and I have seen no evidence to the contrary." There are hundreds of interviews with Trump supporters or Brexiteers that say exactly what I have said. So how you arrive at "have seen no evidence" is astonishing to me. There are election posters for Brexit that are racist. There are books about the topic of people in the UK wantig the Empire back for its racism. "Back to reality: People never cared much about race." Ah yes, Ruanda never happened. Or thousands of pogroms. Or the thousands of public hangings in the South of the US. "People do not care about race."

  This is getting off topic fast. I disagree, I believe a large part of the opposition you declare racist is not. Reactionary might make sense and it is very closely related to how information was handled here.
