Two memes that I wonder about: the racial draft and the race card.
The first is used as a collective building of power and influence by bartering people for their perceived benefit and affinity (or lack thereof) to an ethnic group, and the second is frequently criticized as being used by those who use and flex the perceived power of one’s identified ethnicity as rhetorical self-defense.
The race card and the racial draft are both rhetorical components of ethnic power. We use both in conversation regarding almost-entirely-imaginary scenarios.
