Tell me you’re a racist without telling me you’re a racist.

That you hear "poor" and the first thing that comes to you mind is race is... something man.
It is of course risible, especially given some of your previous comments, to imagine there was no racism implied, but even were that the case, the egregious nature of the remark speaks for itself.
Quote:I'm sorry, what race do you believe comes from the slums?
"Both poverty and income strongly correlate with race in the United States. Among all racial groups, Black Americans are second most likely to experience poverty, with 21% living below the poverty threshold, following Native Americans at 25%. Black Americans in particular have only ten cents for every dollar in wealth that white families have."

"According to 2018 US Census Data, the highest poverty rate by race is found among Native Americans (25.4%), with Blacks (20.8%) having the second highest poverty rate, and Hispanics (of any race) having the third highest poverty rate (17.6%)."

Now that you can see your bigoted crass remarks were also inherently racist, will you be rethinking the post?
