It's really funny how the claim of "identity politics" gets applied to pointing out inequality, but never to inequality itself. Was red-lining not identity politics? What about white flight? How about the gender pay gap (say in it's historical form if you choose to believe that it doesn't exist anymore), that's straight up identity politics, no? Oh! How about Japanese internment during WWII. That's obviously identity politics!

The US government has engaged in identity politics for pretty much all of its history (consider the rhetoric about the "migrant caravan" today, or the way that every elected official has to at least pretend to be Christian). You don't get to rail against identity politics as if it's something SJWs came up with in the last decade.
