I'll save y'all from having to read about this villain. He's not referring to actual ethnicity. He wants an "ethnic" cleansing of liberals from San Francisco, he wants to start a new gang called The Greys, and he wants the city controlled by corporate gangs who can do whatever they want. He wants to bribe police officers to do his bidding, and equip them with special uniforms to demonstrate their loyalty. He wants to reintroduce segregation, but for political alignment, and ban liberals (who he calls The Blues) from access to good parts of the city. He's dangerous because he has resources and a captive audience. I'm sure he is on several government watchlists already, as he should be.

Greys and blues like the civil war?

Maybe it is a call for ethnic cleansing and he means "black people" when he says "liberals."

I knew a coworker who would say "Canadians" as a dogwhistle. I don't know why, and refused to ask.

Canadians as a dogwhistle for what, dare I ask? Or was that part of what you refused to ask?
