The American Rescue Plan distributed $28 billion in restaurant aid during the pandemic in a way that automatically put non-white applicants ahead of white applicants, using 'priority groups' as the mechanism, requiring white applicants to do significantly more work to qualify for the same aid.
People harmed by current race-based discrimination policies will remember and potentially not forgive this treatment in the same way Black Americans have not forgotten redlining, Jim Crow, convict leasing, and other historical racial policies, and this memory will have long-term social consequences.
Top Democratic party operatives ignore backlash against race-based policies by simply not looking at it—not watching coverage, not reading critical reporting—and when confronted about such policies, soft-pedal them using Orwellian euphemisms like 'priority group' and 'historically disadvantaged group' rather than acknowledging the direct racial basis of allocation.
Ethnic minority audiences laugh at comedy jokes about ethnic identity experiences (e.g., dark skin, being mistaken for Pakistani), while white audiences often object to the same jokes on behalf of minorities, illustrating patronizing 'soft racism' where white audiences police speech 'for' minorities.
