Yeah. I've heard about it. So this wouldn't be a problem if it affected a different group of people?

  Probably not because if it affected white neighborhoods, it either wouldn't be enacted, shut down after complaints, or receive enough bad press as to be shut down.

    That's a lot of assumptions. If they wanted that to be the point of the article they could have done it a lot more explicitly.
• ladidahh 10mo ago
  It would be the exact same problem, and equally bad.
  • mhb 10mo ago
    I agree. Which is why I think that detail is not relevant and just a distraction.

      Well, if racism in America was over. As in, similar rates of wealth and poverty, incarceration and college degrees, etc etc, across racial lines, then yeah, it would be a distraction. But when economic disadvantage, inherited from outright racist laws, is abundantly clear to see, it's hard for me to accept that we are not still anti black (and anti poor, etc) as a country when things like this happen

  It isn't affecting (and historically doesn't affect) the "different group" though. That's the point.
