if the article was claiming to show "intent" to discriminate then it would have been misleading. I wrote the article and I never claimed to show intent. I was just showing what as effectively happening and for that the diffeerence

I am the author of article. looking at difference in ownership of companies more broadly would be useful to establish intent to discriminate but that is NOT what the article claims to show. I simply show what is effectively happening and fo

In my article, I am not looking to establish intent. I am just showing what is effectively happening and therefore to make my point it does not matter at all where fewer companies are Black-owned
