Every time a manifestly racist, anti-white event goes down, which is frequently, conservative media call it identity politics. The left is playing identity politics.
Whatever is convulsing the country; its not identity politics. For, blacks are not being pitted against Hispanics. Hispanics are not being sicced on Asians, and Ameri-Indians arent being urged to attack the groups just mentioned. Rather, theyre all piling on honky. Hence, anti-white politics or animus.
The ire of the multicultural multitudes is directed exclusively at whites and their putative privilege. Anti-whitism is becoming endemic and systemic.
