On the Strategy of Targeting a Group that Is Trying to Be Post-Racial by Dragging it Back Into Racial Politics............and Not Expecting a Backlash

It seems quite idiotic, doesn't it (the harsh fact that identity politics has almost always led to bloodshed and/or subjugation; Nigeria, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Sri Lanka, etc.)? And yet this is exactly what the identitarian crowd and their enablers in the media and political class (many of them Republicans, sadly) are attempting to institute. Hopefully there are still enough sane people out there to squash this bullshit but I just don't know at this point. 50-50, at best.
