"Playing the race card" is an idiomatic phrase that refers to the exploitation by someone of either racist or anti-racist attitudes in the audience in order to gain an advantage.[1][2][3] It constitutes an accusation of bad faith directed at the person or persons raising concerns as regards racism.[4] Critics of the term argue that it has been utilized to silence public discourse around racial disparities and undermine anti-racist initiatives.[5][6][7]
