Its about how white people suddenly realize racism is spreading across the world and they can only escape its wrath if they refuse to acknowledge it because... No one kills racism. They dont even escape racism. The only reason that this compound is protected from the supremacy of whiteness is that the people who live there literally cant see race! The ones who can see race must still ignore racism because racism still rears its ugly head. The only thing that protects the sighted people from the racism monster is that they have a bunch of birds. And the birds arent even free. They just think they are free because the white people gave them a bigger bird box. The birds are still slaves, they just dont know it! But everyone lives happily ever after in a post-racial society where the problem of white supremacy is solved simply by walking around with blinders on.
