#Racism is a tool.
Need public support for policies that are against the interests of all but the ruling 1%?
How do you make idiots vote against their own interests?
First, you need to package those policies as an attack on one small minority, then encourage racism towards them among the masses.
Then you manufacture grievances against that minority. (They came and took your job etc)
Then you sell the gullible
your 'solution' =
"If we can just get rid of human rights laws, we will be free to deal with this problem"
Result: Gammon arseholes lining up to vote to do away with their own human rights, while being happy to do so because they think they are hurting brown people.
* see Brexit / all of political history for references.
** the Irony is that those who use this tool are not necessarily personally racist. They hate and fear the poor, irrespective of skin colour. They just use the tool that works best.
