You don't have to be racist to participate in systemic racism. US policing produces racist outcomes even from "not-racist" people. I'm going to explain (again):
* why I've probably been pulled over way more times than most people you know, even though most of the times I'm pulled over, I get no ticket (because I did nothing wrong)
* how I stopped getting pulled over so much (because I understand the system)
* And why lots of cops say that the average voter is more racist than the average cop
I guess what I'm most curious about in the Leopard-2 nonsense is whether the current German position is:
a) Clearly understood in Germany;
b) Playing well there politically.
Externally it's obviously neither - a garbled incoherent mess. All politics is local however and if it's playing well domestically it's at least understandable if not ethically justifiable... but is it?
