In the US, the police basically work for the rich. There is clear 'two-tiered policing' against anyone the rich dislike: usually poor, socialistic/communistic, or non-White/foreign people.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Q. With what the Germans, Japanese and Italians are trying to do to the democracies of the world — especially our United States — do you really mean you would permit your children to number among their friends any Germans, Japanese or Italians?

A. I certainly do. How are we going to live in peace in the world of the future if we cannot be friends ourselves with Germans, Japanese or Italians? I have friends of all those nationalities; some of them have fled their own countries because they were in disagreement with the policies of the governments of those countries. I imagine there are many people still in those countries who are suffering because they do not agree with what their governments are doing. If we take the attitude that we can never be friends with people of these nationalities, our chance for a peaceful world in the future is slim indeed!

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-09), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59

At a time when the United States military is losing the #IranWar, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took the time to block the promotions of Black and female officers despite their knowledge, skills, and abilities:

Hegseth Strikes Female and Black Navy Officers From Promotion List

The defense secretary’s decision to block the officers’ promotions appears driven by his anti-diversity stance rather than based on merit.

Багато японців, можливо, вважають, що «ґаіджін» — це те ж саме, що й «іноземець».

　Яке уявлення чи образ асоціюється у вас зі словом «ґаіджін»? 　Багато японців, можливо, вважають, що «ґаіджін» — це те ж саме, що й «іноземець». Однак, це не є точним розумінням. «Ґаіджін» та «іноземець» — не синоніми, і в реальності слово «ґаіджін» несе в собі дискримінаційний відтінок. 　Вислів
