Race card

"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. It constitutes an accusation of bad faith directed at the person or persons raising concerns as regards racism. Critics of the term argue that it has been utilized to silence public discourse around racial disparities and undermine anti-racist initiatives.
