It's focused on race, but not in a nice way. It's been arguing about chattel slavery for 200 years, had a civil war over it, and has been busy ever since trying to decide where racial minorities should live and work, and if slaves turned out of plantations with empty pockets were ever at a disadvantage, or if they just fail to have "merit." It's obsessed with race, which is why Affirmative Action and diversity quotas trigger it so much. You would think that the 70% of the population that end up with 80% of the slots would be satisfied, but they're not if they think a black person might have gotten in with a lower SAT score.
It's also focused on class. Its been constantly attacking people who think that class matters since the 20s, and is rabidly anti- any sort of forced sharing, or restrictions on spending as literal sedition.
The economist also hates the poor, but it's willing to care about the poor for a single article if it helps them attack the blacks.
