When you say "it's clear there is a race component", which race are you referring to?
I am white, and my white great-grandfather died as a slave in a concentration camp at the hands of white Nazi masters as a consequence of white-on-white ethnic persecution.
So do I understand correctly that when you say "it's clear there is a race component", you are referring to white people?
I ignored your comment because it didn't make sense to me. And since I'm flagged in this thread for having a contrary opinion to the groupthink in this thread, I'm rate limited to reply. I can only reply to like 3 posts before HN tells me to take a break, so I only responded to comments that made sense.
I'm sorry for your grandfather, mine died as well at the hands of Nazis.
By "race component" I'm making reference to racial relations in America, which to a large extent, revolve around the fallout from hundreds of years of chattel slavery of Black people. This country was built on the backs of black slaves, and that still has repercussions in society today. This conflict has deep roots, and many aspects of American life that may seem benign have a context in that history. If you don't know the history then you may not feel one way or another about it. If you do know the history, then it colors things differently (depending on who you are).
