I wonder why HN only focuses on the financial part. There are several complex ways in which racial injustice works. Nigerian Americans will still get racially profiled at the store and have a harder time with the police.
- inglor_cz 6y agoI cannot vouch for that either way. My experience from Europe is that A LOT depends on your clothing and general demeanor. An Indian dressed a in silk three piece suit and a Philippe Patek watch on his wrist will be treated with obsequious deference by the store personnel. A Roma guy dressed as stereotypical Roma will be suspected and followed. Their skin colors are identical. At the end of the day, money talks.
