> Just because some shit happened ages ago
although it is tempting to say let's have a fresh start from today, and we are all equal and all have the same chances, some damage are made across generations (e.g check the wikipedia of Canadian Indian residential school system)
end of slavery in the u.s : 1865
end of racial segregation in the u.s : 1964~1968
gerrymandering : ongoing
this does not seems age/centuries ago to me, and a group(white) definitely profited from this inequality and pass the wealth on their heir, giving them an early advantage in life.
all I am saying, is, invest where the social need is, not based on the color of skin...
