Matt Walsh Presents: The Racial Victim Hierarchy
Digest
This podcast delves into the satirical concept of a "racial victim pyramid," a hierarchy within the broader victim hierarchy system. This pyramid ranks different racial groups based on their perceived victimhood, with Black people at the top and White people at the bottom. The podcast explains that the higher-ranking racial group in the pyramid determines the victim points of a biracial individual. For example, a child with a Mexican parent and a Japanese parent would receive the Mexican victim points. The podcast also introduces the "Barack Barometer," a tool used to determine the racial identity of biracial individuals with a Black parent. If an individual is as dark or darker than Barack Obama, they are considered fully Black, regardless of their other parent's race. The podcast further explores the concept of "basically white," where a biracial individual with a White parent can be considered "basically white" if their complexion is lighter than biracial comedian Maya Rudolph. This individual would receive half a victim point.
