Public shaming rituals reinforce the political order which profits from the forbidden. Here the example is lack of access to healthcare by poor people. Identitarian weapons for race form a sort of protection racket for the elites whose hegemonic control of the economy put them in the position of determining what is politically correct. For example, the Clintons have screwed over black Americans prodigiously, yet they are widely considered the preferred representatives (with respect to voting anyway). The Clintons' role in deprivation of healthcare for poor people could not possibly be more concentrated in one family. Therefore it is Clinton who commands the leading voice on what is and is not racism. Left is the new right.
