Voter ID–some reframing

As I pointed out a few weeks ago or something, stating Voter ID laws is racist is more or less equal to claiming some races cannot be expected to participate as adults in our society, that asking blacks to have valid ID is somehow different from asking g whites to have valid. The whole claim of “racism” rests on this difference.

What if we called Voter ID laws homophobic? Would that make sense? What if we called misogynistic? Would that make sense? What if we said they discriminated against Asians? Would not everyone ask “why Asians”?
