"well deserved if they worked to build it"- does that still apply if it involves centuries, decades of colonization, oppression, slavery?
" if you want to be on top in 10 years, spend your weekends toying with bitcoins, drones and/or 3D printers."
how many black kids- or poor kids in India, for instance (consider Ramanujan) do you think are going to have the OPPORTUNITY to spend their weekends toying with bitcoins, drones and/or 3D printers?
There's a REASON it's mostly white males who are playing with those areas, and it's not "White Men Work Harder".
African mothers work harder than anybody else, walking tens of miles everyday to bring home water to their kids. Where's their well-deserved advantage?
- omonra 14y agoYou realize that when someone says 'white male' they are saying it in the context of other types of people in the same society? Ie we're still talking about the First World - just juxtaposing them to black males, asian females, white females, etc. The existence of 5-odd billion non-white people around the world isn't really discussed :)
