Purple (or any other color) soon becomes the “color of oppression” as blue already has.
Color of uniform has nothing to do with the image some ethnic groups maintain in their minds. Authority is still the enemy, though, one asks, who could possibly be their friends?
When oppression is so solidly identified with authority, it is a little hard to shift the narrative.
Perhaps Uniforms could reflect the “racial” and “other*” makup of the populace..cimminity by community”?
White uniforms in primarily white neighborhoods...and black uniforms in uniforms black neighborhoods and nieghborhoods like san francrisco’s castro district *...could use Rainbow Unifroms* ??
oh... that leaves out tan neighborhoods and ‘yellow” neighborhoods/S oh well
