Interesting point about trauma. With regard to the rest, I somewhat disagree, but also would add that it's not so much about political will from any individual party as the fact that a strong majority of the country explicitly rejects such an approach. You don't make changes by losing elections. That is, even if you think a race-focused approach is best (which I don't agree with on the merits), it's so politically toxic that it can't happen in a democratic nation.
Fair enough. And, like I say, this is where you and I arrive at an impasse. (Which is fine, but is why we talk past one another on this particular issue and why you are more inclined to give progressive parties more credit on these issues than I am.)
