Ranking skin color above money in the USA is…interesting.

  You can change your wealth much easier than you can change your race. Sure a rich person will have it a fucktonne easier than a poor person, regardless of race. However race is the first thing you see. As someone who is from the outside, Its especially obvious at points where the state or large institutions interact. (ie property, banking, police, airports etc etc)

    Of course you can’t change your race, but we’re talking about some American analog of the caste system. Race just isn’t nearly as large a factor as money. Not even close

      Except that it kinda is, because race is highly correlated with wealth in the US due to over a century of oppression and open systemic racism.

      Except you can predict someone's life chances pretty accurately by location, and that location is a pretty good indicator of race.
