    Many of the weak and vulnerable are responsible for putting the rich and powerful into power though. Power is entirely a social construct. Bit of a paradox but that’s the way it is.

      I think the white is referring to minorities being scapegoated, though. While absolutely some people vote against their best interests, they often don’t have the numbers to make change themselves (eg, trans and NB people are maybe 1% of the population but getting severely attacked right now) or the system is constantly trying to screw them over (eg, black people are a sizable chunk of the population, but there’s countless efforts to restrict their ability to vote and keep them poor).
