Not oversampling minority test subjects could be bad science, although it would also be met with the complaint that we are using them as lab rats. If you look for racism, you will find it. I am more anti-racist than most, but because this is an urban virus (for now), people of color have had the worst of it. For now. White America should not think that it is coming for them too.
The meme of White victim-hood does not make it hard to find the racists. In the era of Trump, they are the loudest voices. They are amplified by the money of the rich, who need tax cuts to create Ponzi schemes to extract money from the poor and as incentive to keep labor costs (wages) down. Whip Inflation Now.
The movement to give more money to the bosses started with Jack Kennedy's tax cuts. It turns out the Camelot was a good name for an administration which started the upward distribution of wealth. Ed Markey gave us the very dark mornings of mid-Fall and early-Spring. He is the kind of environmentalist that makes environmentalism a hard sell. Almost nothing is worse than a Senator over the age of 70 (except a dynasty). Mr. Kennedy should have waiting for Ed or Elizabeth to vacate before running. Mitt made the same mistake in 2012. I detect a pattern.
Fascism is easy to define. When the movement becomes the man, welcome to fascism. His enemies are the enemy of the state because the leader is the state. This year, we don't have far to look. It's not just Trump. Just go to work and see celebrity CEOs indulge in it too - or any Cathedral.
