13. His use of the term "outside agitators" is the giveaway
It was (and apparently remains) the locution of choice for racists who would prefer to practice their bigotry away from prying eyes. For years in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and even into the 1970s, a certain strain of White folks in the South complained about the attention they received from their fellow citizens for they systematic denial of rights to a significant segment of the population. Instead of being able to justify "separate but equal" facilities, they spread a thin veneer over their racism and instead decried the unwanted attention from a larger society that was at first shocked and then angered when the finer points of their de facto apartheid became apparent.

Jindal knows exactly what he was saying, and exactly who he was communicating with when he used the term. The only polarization occurring is being perpetrated by the racists who want to be left alone with their poisonous philosophy and their victims.
