    What did I say that was racist? That 90% of billionaires in the US are white men? How is that racist?

    I talk about low income families a ton in my work. We talk about the demographic breakdowns. Is that racist?

    There are facts that fall along racial lines. It’s how you deploy them where things get racist. Stating a demographic is more represented at a certain income level is 100% absolutely in no way racist.

    Edit: 74% of the house is white, almost 90% of the senate is white. Over 70% of the house is male, over 75% of the senate is male. In the GOP all these numbers are even higher. These are demographic facts. How is any of this racist?

      No, scientific, statistical, academic study of different groups is obviously not racist. It’s important.

      I said your comment about black crime is racist, as those who say it are not doing so academically, or genuinely.

      Edit You’re so close to getting what I am saying, you’re clearly.just.looking for a fight.

      Demographic science and work to elevate the oppressed is obviously important. Whatever race or income or origin or whatever else.

      Flippant divisive race splitting in a non academic setting (as this is) is just that, divisive.

      Edit edit

      To be clear, the point is it isn’t their age or their race that makes them ignorant, greedy fools trying to hoard content and disrupt normal consumers.

      Same as it isn’t their race that makes black folks over represented in crime “stats”. It’s decades of geofencing, redlining, racism at every turn, reduction of economic opportunity, and so so much more.

      Talk about the system that builds these people, and their actions. And most importantly, where we go from here. The greed that makes these executives, the oppression that makes criminals in your referenced “stats”. Criticize that.

        You’re right. When did I say that? Quote me.
