    You noticed the racist undertones in my post?! You must be a racist!

    Lemme see if I understand your logic: I’m racist because I called out the racism in your post.

    Does that make you extra racist for calling out my apparent racism?

    Seriously, though, I shouldn’t have to say this, but apparently I do: the way to fight racism isn’t more racism. And the real villain isn’t systemic racism, anyway - it’s wealth inequality. Is a black billionaire a better person than a white billionaire simply due to their race? No, of course not. Even suggesting such a thing is overtly racist.
