Type: Concept
As of November 2026, Identity politics has been mentioned in 4 episodes across 3 podcasts, first heard Nov 2025 on The Ezra Klein Show. Identity politics is implied through claims that critics focus on race/gender composition (e.g., 'not enough men of color,' 'no non-binaries') rather than the sports achievement.
Identity politics is politics based on a particular identity, such as ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, denomination, gender, sexual orientation, social background, political affiliation, caste, age, education, disability, opinion, intelligence, and social class. The term encompasses various often-populist political phenomena and rhetoric, such as governmental migration policies that regulate mobility and opportunity based on identities, left-wing agendas involving intersectional politics
