it misplaces and mis-prioritizes identity.
What does that even mean?
Identity politics is misguided because prioritizing race or ethnicity above all else artificially bloats it with meaning, until it ceases to be a true and measured pride in one’s given identity.
Yet we have groups such as the Black & Hispanic Caucuses? Politicians who do exactly that and we are supposed to pretend that 'race' is just a skin color? We have a tangled mess of racial crap that we will not be able extract ourselves from without a whole realignment of our politics. In short we have a tar baby(can I say that?) on our hands
