That's all you had to know.

You should understand that this supports racist ideas and policy when you say it. Edit: unless you mean "in another 400 years after we've made radical policy changes"
Edit again: I can't reply bc posting speed limits and the balance of racism/antiracism in HN threads, so please go read e.g. "How to be an Antiracist" and you'll see where I'm coming from.
- nilkn 6y agoI don’t really understand what point you’re trying to make. I don’t find it helpful to apply “racist” unthinkingly as a blanket term that encompasses anything and everything race-related, and I cannot agree with you that my post in any way supports racist policies.
