what role does diversity play

• stavros 3y ago
  It masks the class problems of extreme wealth inequality as racial problems so that potential solutions focus on the wrong thing, and the targets are middle-class white people instead of ultra-rich people of any race.

    so in the US middle class white people are seen as the problem instead of ultra rich minorities?

      Notice how you fell into the race trap again, even though I said "of any race". It's not "the ultra rich minorities", it's "the ultra rich, period". Race doesn't have anything to do with what is 100% a class problem. I think it's telling of how pernicious the racial propaganda is, that you changed my "of any race" to "minorities".

        Oh I see maybe just “the ultra rich” without “of any race” - saying “white people” then “of any race” as the counter example implies non-white, still too much race emphasis (plus most of the ultra rich are white, which further confused it for me)
