    Racism is either a symptom or a tool:

    Those who cant make sense of their situation being unsatisfactory may fall prey to it to soothe themselves.

    Those who hoard all of the worlds wealth use it to distract from that fact.

      Worth noting that a lot of the people raging about immigrants don’t see themselves as racist.

        Or themselves as immigrants, for that matter.

        A German settler calling a Hispanic migrant “illegal” really says something about the legal and social zeitgeist.

        If you apply liberal’s superficial understanding of what white supremacism actually is hard enough it’s very easy to end up in a situation where nobody could possibly be a white supremacist.
