Liberals are just doing what Democrats have done since their parties inception conservatives did many years ago, and it's what people do all the time today, and that is, making up "rules" and "categories of people" when they think it's to their advantage to do so.  

It's reprehensible, but don't act like liberals invented this stuff.   A lot of it was the liberal reaction to racism and discrimination, when they invented affirmative action, which is a very bad policy in itself, but the idea didn't come from liberals.  That poison of identity politics originated with racists.

FTFY

That red text you added is pure sophistry.
Thomas Jefferson founded the Democratic Party in about 1796.
The first black codes or slave codes in effect in English speaking North America were written more than 150 years before that.
Trying to blame really old and really complicated stuff on the party you don't like, simply because you don't like them, is what dumb people do when they're trying to sound smart. In other words, sophistry.
