Wow, great news! Now everyone who says anything racist will have to put $2500 into the swear jar. I expect racism will disappear overnight, and we will have a plushappy society with institutionalized love for all. Thanks PayPal!

  PayPal might be one of the worst company out there, but criticizing them on their contribution to the afro-american community is not one I'd make.

    And if PayPal was funding exclusively the "white European/American male" community, such that organizations that cared equally about black people were not eligible for their cash, do you think that would pass by unremarked? Of course it's not a "contribution", it's racism in which people are being given money because of the color of their skin.

        No, that's what you call it. The rest of us call it racism, sexism and discrimination against innocent people who did nothing wrong.

        That's giving an opportunity to a class of people who are less privileged overall, too bad you feel that way.

  Supporting black people, community, and businesses is racist ?
  - hypertele-Xii 4y ago
    Yes. It's exclusive to a specific race of people. The definition of racism. You might say it's "positive racism" though, as rather than oppress, it rewards being born black.

      From Wiki : > Racism is the belief that groups of humans possess different behavioral traits corresponding to inherited attributes and can be divided based on the superiority of one race over another. How is helping a discriminated community racist, according to this definition ?
      - hypertele-Xii 4y ago
        A group of humans possessing inherited attributes (black skin) are divided (into two groups, one being helped, the other not) based on the superiority of one race over another (only blacks need help, because other races are better off?).

  PayPal has two HQs, one of which is in San Jose California, the other of which is in La Vista, NE. Neither of these are San Francisco. The San Francisco office was closed. https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/27/paypal-shuttering-its-san-francisco-office/ https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/27/paypal-shuttering-its-san-...
