As a Jew who has been dealing with a lot of prejudice, discrimination and harassment, I appreciate this very much. I also think color alone doesn't a tell a story, it's a factor, and a serious one, but it isn't everything. I am seeing tribal groups of Caucasians having issues with each other all over the news, but people aren't talking about those prejudices as anything other than fact.

This coloristic paradigm keeps workers from uniting, and allows for the war machine to take precedence over the will of the people and allows harassment because one group appears to be doing better than another and sharing mutual real-life experiences seems to not count and be offensive to bring up. While one person's experience may have more emotional levels to it, in fact that's likely, that doesn't mean others have not encountered parts of that and don't feel empathy or have facts of their own that matter too.
