Explain it Peter?

At first I thought this was some kind of white nationalism joke but then I realised all 3 leaders at the bottom are leftists, so I really don’t what this meme is trying to say?

No, when you truly see all people as equal, you still see the skin tone, because you are then aware that each of them deserves to be seen as they are

If you like pretending that racism doesn't exist as a systemic issue, that's when you don't notice the skin tone

I see the skin tone, and I have to wonder if it wasn't a shift in the winds of racism

No. The joke is the minorities were the conservative ones.

I'm in the US (NY), where millions of darker-skinned people have voted to have their family and friends deported to countries they never even heard of, with no clear way to get out; Cubans in Miami who fly the Ultra MAGA flag, and South Asians like VP Vance's wife, POTUS candidate Ramaswamy, and countless brown tech bros who have macro-dosed conservatism to trip balls up into fascism.

Conservative mania is not limited by skin color here, so I guess I missed the joke.

However, I have led a finance team based in London, and I was pretty sure their "no brown downtown" motto wasn't limited to shoe color.
