Eh... We kind of are doing it to ourselves. It's unfortunate, for sure, but I wouldn't say it's unfair.
Politicians are taking advantage of the persistent racism that we in the US - really I should narrow that down mostly to white people here - have actively refused to come to terms with.
It's not new, it's just more extreme and out in the open than it has been. Regardless, it's hard to put the blame swuarely on politicians here, and one could argue we are reaping our just desserts.
