Это такая медийная манипуляция, политическая маркировка "свой-чужой", склеенная с отождествлением чужих с некой уже имеющейся в обществе негативной коннотацией. Из той же серии, что называть всех оппонентов фашистами ("левый фашист", "правый фашист", "цисгендерный фашист"). Все же знают, что "фашист" - это плохо.
Расовая тема в США - одна из самых горячих в последний год, и не сыграть на этом было бы глупо.
Проще заявить, что "эти негры - ненастоящие негры", чем признать, что у Трампа есть немаленькая аудитория среди цветного населения США.
В обратную сторону тоже можно, вот в Орегоне коалиция цветных приняла с свой состав славян (точнее жителей бСССР).
И Washington Post замечу не причем, зря на них бочку катят, инициатива масс.

The Coalition of Communities of Color decided to embark on a research project in which data could be used to
empower communities and eliminate racial and ethnic inequities....
This report details the experiences of the Slavic community in Multnomah County. The Slavic community is
defined as those from the former Soviet Union. It is the largest refugee-based community in Oregon, with most
arriving in the decade from 1990 to 2000. ...
One of the biggest threats to the Slavic community is its invisibility and marginalization that flows from the lack
of data on their experiences in many walks of life: the school system, child welfare, criminal and juvenile justice,
health and social services. The fact that no data are collected on this community in mainstream institutions is
deeply troubling and needs to be remedied immediately. This community is the largest of our refugee groups.
We must serve the community better – the journey begins with documenting and rendering visible their
experiences.
We urge all levels of government, foundations, not-for-profits, and private industry to do one of four things:
1. Add “Slavic” as a racial category to “identifying information” forms
2. Broaden the ethnicity category to include “Slavic” alongside the Latino identifiers typically included in that section
3. Routinely use an “ancestry” question that will collect information about the origins of those who use such services
4. Use a language category and ask people to identify their first language or language spoken at home. This will capture most of the community.
Давно уж "прогрессивные" так делают:
Jews became "white" immediately when they became successful. (C) Ben Shapiro (хотя, может, не он первый это сказал)
и латинов туда же когда стали за Трампа голосовать, и.т.д.
