The Collectivist approach allows for people to dismiss individual agency in every case, in accordance with their collectivist affiliation.

• Black man did something positive? Evidence of the greatness of blackness.
• Black man did something negative? Evidence of the effect of whiteness.
• White man did something positive? Evidence of whiteness making his life easier.
• White man did something negative? Evidence of the inherent villainy of the mayos.

However, this is just an applied collectivism. A true collectivist, let's say a white collectivist would have to take personal responsibility for the bad things that happen.

• A white man did something negative? "How did I fail to support my white brother, and police my white community so this doesn't happen again?"

Nobody wants to do that.
