If everyone was racist we'd be living in apartheid.
Frankly, there is no political coalition willing to push apartheid because a plurality of people aren't as racist as some people in this thread seem to think.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoWhat if there was a system that achieved the same effect as apartheid, without requiring an actual apartheid law? Do you think that would be better or worse?
- atomi 8y agoWell that's certainly the intent of some bad policies passed under cover. But generally speaking if you shine a light to those policies most people will be against them.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoI concern myself a lot with these kinds of “shadow caste systems”, so I’m intrigued by your faith that they are universally opposed. I see a lot of people who sort of cultivate a barrier of ignorance because their bread is buttered by the system. They do their job but, only semi-consciously just won’t peer behind the result of their actions. So I will meditate a little on your position. Maybe I’ve got the wrong bias here.
