- randyrand 9y ago>this story is great. The Asian couple buying [context: rent-seeking] a street that was only salable to whites for most of SF's history
- icebraining 9y agoNope, you're reading what's not there. That statement never addresses the race of the current homeowners.
- randyrand 9y agoThat's a good point, but otherwise the sentiment would make no sense. If only asian people lived on the street, then how would an asian couple buying the street and rent-seeking other asians be making up for past racism by whites? If it were asians rent-seeking other asians, or blacks rent-seeking other blacks, I'm am rightfully skeptical that OP would not think the story was as "great" as asians rent-seeking whites. The race of the homeowners is implied.
- icebraining 9y agoI don't know about OP, but as long as they're rich, I still find it great.
- randyrand 9y agoLet's hope you never become rich. Otherwise you'd hate yourself.
- icebraining 9y agoDon't worry, I won't.
- pm24601 9y agoIt's not hate! its called schadenfreude which only happens when laughing at the follies of those above you. If it happened to a poor person it tragically common.
