I think some of what we see in this sort of treatment is a kind of 'Stanford Prison Experiment' playing out in a much bigger setting. The 'prisoners' in this case being more marginalized elements of society for whatever reason(s)--reasons which may include race but are not necessarily dependent upon racist attitudes of the prison guards.
I think that's a very interesting point, and you may well be right, but I don't think that really conflicts with what I said, necessarily.
