- RivasPT 6y agoHe is also using his position to promote Institutional Racism regarding his replacement: he already is defining the "right race".
- elindbe2 6y agoI agree that's kind of shitty, but hopefully the board can just ignore his request. I rather like his larger idea though. If you honestly believe in something, then donate your wealth away to support it, rather than worsening wealth inequality by leaving it in inheritance to your children.
- chrischen 6y agoThat last part is easier said than done because you also make non-monetary contributions to your children's life such as the love and care and attention you provide. So saying "no inheritance" is much like saying "I'll give you only the average amount of care so that I don't disadvantage other children."
- davmar 6y agoYou don't know what institutional racism is.
- cameronfraser 6y agoSeems like virtue signaling to me. It doesn't negatively impact him long term and it softens the impact of the people saying he didn't do anything meaningful to combat racism on reddit.
- soneil 6y agoI think I’d disagree with this. It does hurt him, in that he’d earn more where he is. He will take a hit from this. Unless he’s entirely mismanaged his finances, it shouldn’t hurt much, but it will hurt more than it would otherwise.
- elindbe2 6y agoTrue, he should donate more, to the point where he's in the same living situation as the people he's supporting.
