is this the "racism is over" narrative? |
I think it's more the "racism has nothing to do with this particular incident" narrative. It's important to differ between real racism, which is a huge issue, and matters that have no racial motivations, lumping everything together only serves to detract from the actual issues.
Here in Sweden, it has gone completely over board; every time there are riots in one of the suburbs, the inner-city, upper middle class white knights of social justice tell everyone that the police are the problem, even going so far as to tell the actual citizens who live in these suburbs and who have their homes, cars or businesses destroyed or damaged and share both ethnicity, social networks and neighborhood with these kids that they "don't really know how it works".
Please; differentiate between various social issues and concerns and the mechanics behind them, it benefits no one to classify everything regarding certain groups as racism, sexism, phobias or extremism, yet this happens all the time.
