I saw something super racist against white people in a child’s game the other day. This factors into my larger question of how did we get to this point. I think it has something to do with the invasion of Middle East when Americans realized they had lost the moral high ground. The revelation of what was happening in Afghanistan broke the assumption that more democracy is better and led to the breaking of a worldview. This became something of an original sin which morphed into white guilt. The loss of a worldview led to anxiety which drove everyone to find something fixed to stand upon which happened to be identity. This combined with white guilt lead to things like racism against white people in children’s games.
