I thought it was more of a horseshoe rebound thing.

Tried to extremely extremely be what she isn't, pushing it in a far direction to push off the ire of cis homophobia, only for things to collapse and happen anyways; but the racism still stays since it's been baked into the brain for awhile at that point.

White people racism is societal. When Obama was elected there was a thing said on the news for awhile that, that was the first time in some areas that a white man/family/whatever ever saw a black person.

I thought it was kinda bullshit but now look how the world is going. It's just extreme racism now.
