The American legal system has always been there to protect the capitalist class.

Nuh uh, it's also there to punish minorities for existing

That's just a means to an end, convince a part of the working class they should fear the rest, let them fight it out, and continue capitalizing in peace.

It isn't.

I can't speak for all PoC but I can speak for me. It's been screamed for the ages. Maybe not all Dragons care about ideology, but it's the goddamn minority.

The rule is you (the straw billionaire in this scenario) or your Robber Baron grandpappy were able to rise that way by seeing some as subhuman, and others as rubes. They still discuss phrenology and blood poisoning for fuck's sake.

Stop assuming the bulk of The Capitalists don't absolutely abhor the concept of other races sharing their resources. They'd happily make an all-white caste system.

They keep screaming that's what they want.
