That is central.

Essentially, every time that the race-card is played reflexively/prematurely, the player is demanding that others are lesser angry souls who want to prove that there is someone in their worthless lives beneath them.
Yet they don't really know, or care to know if that is true.

What's crazy is how accommodating our society is to baseless racism claims. -- really, no evidence is needed; other than a difference of skin pigment and a cry of racism. --Bam! Guilty!

Certainly no evidence in this case, that the Sbux manager wanted anything other than more space for paying customers. And yet protests form to demand that racism MUST have existed there/then. And, they paint the whole organization. I mean, c'mon people..

People need to see/understand that is no racial improvement to have knee-jerk unsubstantiated labeling of others as lesser angry souls who want to prove that there is someone in their worthless lives beneath them. (aka Racists)

In fact, it is insulting and counter-productive.

And yet some revel in it. Without being able to prove it.
