The Politics of Scapegoating

This is a really cool article. I like that he addresses the scapegoating issue, but I don't like that he didn't take it to the next step.

To me, the next step would be to explore who stands to make money from this whole thing. He could've examined which extreme right/ neo nazi groups are financing politicians that will likely gain political favor with a portion of the electorate.

I would also have liked him to address how the racialized minorities could or should take political action and flex their political muscles as well.
