This is all part of the "Global South's" resistance to the "Global North's" economic dominance which continues to globalize the world through increasingly conservative media and educational institutions. This is done under the guise of "Liberalism" and the "Diversity" market. Meanwhile the poor keep dying and discrimination increases while the wealthy and privileged are content with adequate access to resources allowing for economic globalization to be viewed as a benevolent force. Globalization uses racism and ethnic/cultural vilification to maintain and create more class wars.
