I remember back in highschool about a decade ago they started introducing something called "step" into our pep rallies.. It was put on display like it were some type of cheerleading squad alternative. It was essentially black & latino people stomping their feet and clapping, like a really low-effort attempt at native American tribal dance, I could never understand it. I always cringed internally, like the school was putting colored people on display as retards to make them feel special. It was such an in-your-face "we're not white"-display, so of course everyone loved it. I always thought it was just stupid, but looking back I realize that was racially divisive and intentionally so.
