    You can still be a racist and be unsettled by this, because the melinated guys DO NOT MATTER to you. I mean, you can simultaneously wax poetic about the white guys on board and also not care about the Pakistani people on board.

    “Thank goodness we had that Pakistani on board!”

    Like literally this very wealthy class of people is overwhelmingly racist anyway soooooooo you don’t get a free pass with your token people along with you.

      To be fair to the disgusting parasites who are ruining Earth for everyone else who has to live on it, I don’t think most of them are actually racist. They just like to use racism as an excuse to keep the rest of us divided and fighting each other instead of our real enemies. They look down on poor white people the exact same way they look down on poor people of any other race.

      That’s important to remember, because ignoring it is part of how they keep us divided.

        I agree, however we’re already divided because many of those poor unfortunate white people are VERY happily racist, and would continue to be even if it brought their personal ruin.

          Some of them, of course. It’s not caused by being poor and white though. It’s a thing people are taught. It’s not exactly trivial to undo decades of belief, but we can and should fight against it.
