Michael Ramirez nails it:
Identity Politics - from InfoGalactic:
Identity politics, also called identitarian politics, refers to a set of generally left-wing or redistributionist political positions based on the interests and perspectives of self-identified racial, ethnic, and social groups. Identity politics includes the ways in which member's politics, and search for influence and power, may be shaped by their identity through allied social organizations. Examples include social organizations based on ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, social class or caste, culture, dialect, disability, education, language, generation, occupation, profession, settlement, urban and rural habitation, and veteran status. Not all members of most groups identify with identity politics.
Divide and conquer. Balkanize your opponent and they lose cohesion and strength. Old communist tactic.
