This can often be done through the use of terms that have a <a href="/wiki/Dog_whistle" class="mw-redirect" title="Dog whistle">dog whistle</a> effect, allowing the person playing the card to bring race into the argument without directly expressing racist sentiments. </p><p>One may also "play the race card" by accusing an opponent of racism without reasonable justification in order to <a href="/wiki/Demonization" title="Demonization">demonize</a> them with <a href="/wiki/Ad_hominem" class="mw-redirect" title="Ad hominem">ad hominem</a> attacks. Since racial inequality is a foundational element of many social and political systems, assumptions about race and racism are often at play in political debates even if they are not being clearly articulated at a given moment. Nonetheless, it is far from unheard of for people to inject race into disputes where it was clearly never the matter at hand. </p> <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"><input type="checkbox" role="button" id="toctogglecheckbox" class="toctogglecheckbox" style="display:none" /><div class="toctitle" lang="en" dir="ltr"><h2 id="mw-toc-heading">Contents</h2><span class="toctogglespan"><label class="toctogglelabel" for="toctogglecheckbox"></label></span></div> <ul> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-1"><a href="#Among_Democrats.2Fliberals"><span class="tocnumber">1</span> <span class="toctext">Among Democrats/liberals</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-2"><a href="#Among_Republicans.2Fconservatives"><span class="tocnumber">2</span> <span class="toctext">Among Republicans/conservatives</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-3"><a href="#.22Playing_the_race_card.22_card"><span class="tocnumber">3</span> <span class="toctext">"Playing the race card" card</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-4"><a href="#See_also"><span class="tocnumber">4</span> <span class="toctext">See also</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-5"><a href="#References"><span class="tocnumber">5</span> <span class="toctext">References</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <h2><span id="Among_Democrats/liberals"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Among_Democrats.2Fliberals">Among Democrats/liberals</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Race_card&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Among Democrats/liberals">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>In America some <a href="/wiki/Liberal" class="mw-redirect" title="Liberal">liberal</a> <a href="/wiki/Politician" class="mw-redirect" title="Politician">politicians</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pundit" title="Pundit">pundits</a> may try to play the race card against conservatives <a href="/wiki/Overgeneralization" title="Overgeneralization">to dismiss them all as racist</a>, and it <i>is the case</i> that the <a href="/wiki/Republicans" class="mw-redirect" title="Republicans">Republicans</a> have a race problem more significantly than <a href="/wiki/Democrats" class="mw-redirect" title="Democrats">Democrats</a> do<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup> and have employed campaign strategies to woo the racist vote.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a></sup> The popularity of <a href="/wiki/Birtherism" class="mw-redirect" title="Birtherism">Birtherism</a> among the right-wing also gave off the preconception that most Republican voters are racist… which, considering the GOP's power in <a href="/wiki/The_South" title="The South">The South</a> suggests that <a href="/wiki/Birther#Statistics" class="mw-redirect" title="Birther">there <i>may</i> be a problem there</a>. </p><p>Nevertheless, not all Republicans and/or conservatives are racist, and the accusation of racism can be hurled without merit.
