As someone who doesn't play magic, I had no idea it had a racism card.

The problem lies in combining that theme of color-based punishment with the card’s illustration, which looks suspiciously like members of the Ku Klux Klan standing in menacing poses. The hooded figures aren’t an accidental design choice. Plenty of Magic artists have toyed with dark or macabre elements, but very few have ventured into imagery that aligns so closely with hateful groups. Harold McNeill, the artist behind Invoke Prejudice, has been linked to white supremacist ideologies in other works, and that connection makes the Magic community even more uncomfortable.
