tl;dr A lot of clothing donated goes to Third World countries, particularly in Africa, where presumably they assume that all of them came from dead white people.
Putting aside that I didn’t know only white people wore clothes, there is a huge problem with clothes being wasted, and the sheer scam that is clothing donation bins.
