One day, I think most Asians, Hispanics, and others will coalesce culturally and politically with African-Americans, but for all the wrong reasons.
Because white people are prohibited from speaking of negative feelings or mistreatment from African-/Americans, some, out of sheer frustration, unconsciously "let it on" other racial minorities.
This will only make these other groups feel that, indeed, white people are racist and prejudiced against all "people of color," inadvertently driving them towards Black Culture, which in its aggressive stance and posturing, does indeed, has the effect of making it less likely that white people will be tempted to use these others as scapegoats.
That said, I do recognize that there are whites who are truly prejudiced against all racial minorities, but I do find that rare in the part of the United States, where I find rampant prejudice by blacks against Asians to be more common.
They get away with, as one liberal, a social worker told me, because "blacks cannot be racist."
People who are not Black are afraid to talk openly about race in the United States...unless they adhere to the straight and narrow of politically correctness (as regards race) for fear of being criticized and roundly condemned.
So much for political freedom, a fine ideal but one actually difficult to put into practice in the form of democracy practiced in this country.
No one likes to be called a racist, and this is the one that African-Americans hold in spades and use to dominate conversations about race and obtain things they could not otherwise...
To say the above is to risk being called a racist and threatened with loss of esteem with the community, job, relationships, sometimes bodily safety...
But this is something I have heard or read nowhere.
Honesty is the only weapon I have.
