There was a basic “put the uppity black back in his place” aspect to Trump’s whole arc of course, from birther controversy onwards. In a way he has no identity 9f his own. He’s simply the anti-Obama in every way.

Hmm. Not sure. Running shoulders is not a sign of acceptance. Trump is a prop. A picture with him is not a sign of equality. More like a picture with Mickey mouse at Disney. He’s a common type: inserts himself into the optics of narratives without being in the stories.

That may be a bias of yours being involved in dance/music/fashion. In LA/music/Hollywood, being part of the optics is basically almost everything. But in most fields it literally doesn’t matter. To the point that true insiders often view it as an annoying distraction/burden.

You’re I think implicitly analyzing this from the black perspective. Which is a big special case. But I think I’m very common otherwise. A big fraction of educated asians in general have integrated pretty deeply into white inner circles at all levels.
