It's hard for americans to shake essentialist views about race and come to a Marxist understanding –

• Their conservatives have essentiallist racist views

• The liberal 白左 aren't interested in coming to a correct view – "Our dogmatists are lazy-bones" – they're interested in showing off how good a person they are by howling idealist noises on social media
