I think race has just been a spark and the underlying causes and ideals go well beyond it. You've got a situation where many people were being told to stay at home indefinitely. Lots of young people being affected in a manner that will materially affect their already gloomy long term prospects. $1,200 one time payment is a joke (even the $2k x 4 months is insufficient compensation). Very low savings and high debt. First gen to be poorer than parents Etc etc
The cultural revolution is somewhat scary. I feel like it is cult like and Marxist in some ways. Everyone is being forced to accept one narrative and the failure to uphold this narrative will get you excommunicated.
Race is the distraction here. The comfortable topic on which to perform wokeness. Even the corporate world is behind it. Things go much deeper.
