Presumably, they’re suggesting pre-trial detention.

To be fair, it’s not really about “other people”, but rather all people.

Once you invade foreign land, though, you need a way to perpetuate the distinction between the natives and the invaders, and that’s where racism comes in.

If you look at where racial lines are drawn, it always comes down to invasion. Caste systems are about ensuring that, once you win, you stay on top from now on.

This is why racism is so bothered by “interbreeding”; it blurs the lines that make the system work.

The US started off as a colony, so everything is about colonialism. Colonialism is the motive behind racism and slavery.

Racism exists to justify the European takeover of native lands as well as the enslaving of Africans.
