3. It hasn't been working well so far.

Strikes me as one step forward, and two steps back. There MIGHT be justice that results in one instance, but other injustices that could result from stereotyping.

If a bunch of Jewish people created chaos because they were angry about a racial injustice, it wouldn't be long until they'd be viewed as a violent threat by many non-Jews. Whether they were rightfully furious over it or not.

So many people's first thoughts over just about anything is, "How COULD this personally affect me?"

Oh, well. I can't control what people do, so I might as well shut up and hope for the best for everyone.
