Using race constantly as a way to gain leverage in a discussion that has nothing to do with it is like crying wolf.

Yeah, people can go ahead and do it over and over again, but they shouldn't be at all surprised when they have used up all their currency and have not a single shot of persuasive power when a discussion comes up that is super relevant to their race where their voice can actually make a difference in the outcome. No one will care at that point. This habit is a pre-emptive knee-capping of one's own power.
