Given that it's literally her job to win elections, it hardly seems unreasonable to go for the low hanging fruit. Personally I don't blame Trump for targeting race resentment either.
"Blacks and Hispanics, you're our low-hanging fruit! Vote for us!"
I'm not saying they shouldn't play to their advantage either, there's a lot of necessary strategy that goes into winning elections, but unless some of these white volunteers are completely clueless/racist themselves, it's like the Dems are fearfully babying a temperamental non-white voting block. At least try to connect race to the issues, e.g. promote immigration amnesty, promote investigation of cop abuses of power, don't waste effort on sensitivity training and caveats added to every sentence discussing race. After the election Sanders had a speech explicitly calling out the hyper-pandering/sensitivity by some in the DNC, and the only person I remember complaining about it was Shaun King. If it any of that bullshit mattered, Trump should have fared much worse with Hispanics than he ultimately did. It's almost as if Democrats think the average American actually admires HR workers.
