feel unwelcome.

This is the basis of systematic oppression in US.

Freedom of speech to treat minority like shit who will likely be lynched if they speak up in the past. Now when minorities do speak up, and can't be silenced with "traditional means", it's woke.
Guns to deter minorities who can't afford to. Now minorities can own guns, use police as cartels to kill them with impunity and be promoted.
Taxes for poor people, and cuts for the rich.
Two justice systems based on class
Separation of religion and government, but only for non-christian beliefs
Portrays itself as science leader, does not really give a fuck about climate change.
Portrays itself as defenders of democracy, has a well documented history of destroying democracies around the world.
Supports genocide when it's favorable to them.

They know how to oppress by seeming altruistic with false sense of progress, that only benefit itself, the racists and the rich.
