Part 8/12:
Disenfranchising or giving undue benefits based solely on race can backfire, breeding resentment among those who feel they have earned their accomplishments. A comparison is made to higher education, where students who worked hard to gain admission might view others admitted without meeting the same qualifications as unfairly privileged, fueling division rather than unity.
Similarly, the constant portrayal of white Americans as threats, combined with concepts like "toxic masculinity," can push young white men to rebel, overreacting against perceived oppression. This cycle heightens societal tension, contributing to polarization and unrest.
