In California being against the repeal of Prop 13 is considered racist in many circles:

- pmiller2 6y agoYou honestly believe "cops shouldn't kill black people" and "the tax code makes it hard for black people to build wealth" are on the same level? I find that hard to believe.
- 1cvmask 6y agoI am not saying that. But it is discussed seriously seriously and on a regular basis, at least in California, and I can see a path for Nextdoor to expand the bucket list of racist items to classify people.
- pmiller2 6y agoIs that not reasonable? Wouldn't you say that if someone regularly uses racist terms to talk about things that they're probably a racist? Kinda seems like part of the definition to me.
