Do they though?
If the triage was being done correctly there would be no need for a change in policy. Obviously it's not and obviously it's hurting some ethnicities more than others.
So why not fix the underlying issue, rather than try and fix the racism with more racism?
maybe this is a way to fix the racism. Can you think of any other way to fix racism?
Not being racist in the first place, rather than trying to even things out with a different type of racism?
Didn't you read my first comment?
I did read it. Are you saying we can solve this problem by simply eliminating racism from the planet?
That's a pretty munted reply, to be honest. Yes, the solution is less racism.
How do you eliminate racism and are we allowed to do anything until racism is eliminated?
