An Italian who comes to America has an accent. His children don't. They can oppress the Germans.

A German who comes to America has an accent. His children don't. They can oppress the Chinese.

A Chinese who comes to America has an accent. His children won't. They can oppress the Mexicans.

A Mexican who comes to America has an accent. HIs children won't. They can oppress the blacks.

And the fucked up thing is the blacks have been here longer than any of them.

All of the above except the Chinese pass as white as soon as they lose the accent. The Chinese? Well, "asian" isn't exactly an unoppressed minority but asians have only been grossly mistreated and taken advantage of in the United States. They've never been out-and-out owned. Meanwhile, the Reconstruction south wasn't slavery but it sure as hell was Apartheid and baseball went color a mere six years before television so it's not like the US has a storied history of color-blindness. But that's okay because, you know, Bill Cosby.

There's a difference between "stop perpetuating the stereotype" and "stop getting shot by cops." No one is denying correlation; we're arguing that it's a long goddamn way from 100%.
