Do Democrats throw minorities under the bus after being beaten by Trump twice? Sure, but some folks are genuinely trying to be Uncle Toms or Uncle Chans. They think playing respectability politics will save their skin should pogroms come. But here's the thing, racists only see skin colour and won't give a damn who had been "one of the good ones" or not. Bigots inherently lack understanding of nuance, so trying to be "one of the good ones" as an act of self-preservation is moronic at best.
