Solidarity among people of color has never been a given in the U.S., notes Claire
Jean Kim, professor of political science and Asian American studies at the University

including among groups of color, communities of color, because they’re not, in fact,

supremacy, but there are also differences in how they’re positioned, with Blacks clearly
being positioned at the bottom of the racial order.”
