This is a line of political analysis that only a white person could have, minorities did not choose to have their identity politicized. The majority groups politicized their identity when they decided to oppress them. I’m sure minorities WISH they didn’t have to think about their identity so much in relation to how other people and the system treat them.
It’s not about legal rights anymore, it’s about social equality, which does not exist at this point. Even with modern laws that protect everyone’s rights, there’s still very noticeable effects of the racism that used to be in law. Sociologists note a difference between de jure (by law) oppression, and de facto (by fact) oppression in that typically when de jure oppression is undone, the de facto part still holds down the now less oppressed but still downtrodden group.
