One of the most precious and fundamental aspects of American civilization is equality before the law. It is becoming another casualty of the liberal war on our heritage.

From Legal Insurrection:

The Washington State Supreme Court has issued a sweeping Opinion (pdf.) announcing that whether a person is deemed “seized” by the police must take into account race if the person is “Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC).”

BIPOC status, the court ruled on June 9, 2022, is relevant to whether the person “was not free to leave, to refuse a request, or to otherwise terminate the encounter ….” So two identical factual circumstances of a police encounter maybe result in different judicial results depending on whether the person is BIPOC or not-BIPOC (i.e. white).

BIPOC literally means “any race but white.” Progressives may be ready to drop the pretense that blacks are oppressed by the police. This isn’t about favoritism toward blacks in particular. It is about our woke ruling class’s institutionalized hatred of Caucasians.

How BIPOCs and whites who identify as BIPOCs (Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal, Shaun King, et al) will prove to the police that they are not Caucasian and therefore warrant special treatment remains to be determined.
