Racial humiliation is recast as fiscal and security threat language.

Evidence

The traditional language and objects of racial humiliation, expunged from social characterization because at odds with this rabid individualized communitarianism, are not so much erased as similarly structurally transformed. They now silently reference those who threaten the fiscal wellbeing (notably the perpetually unhealthy) or the social security of the nation (as I have indicated, for example, in the European instance of those deemed death approaching, especially young Muslim men and those, even entire ethnonational or religious groupings, identified as or with them). — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 1758
