You miss the context in contemporary America.
It was just 50 years ago that race riots were rife and MLK was killed. Racial hatred still exists and is overt - I've heard of close family members verbally, fortunately not physically, abused in the street on grounds of race. There are all to frequent tales of police brutality towards African-Americans - just last week a police officer shot and killed a black man who was sitting in his own flat, the officer claimed she was confused and thought she was in her own flat?!? But the list of cases is long and well documented. Just one list of cases is here

Articles such as this one
https://www.vox.com/cards/police-bru...-police-racism only highlight part of the issue.
But to dismiss the whole issue as political correctness driven by "swivel eyes" is rather like denying institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police at the time of the Stephen Lawrence case.
