I can’t imagine what it’s like to dismiss problems based on the ethnic demographics you believe they impact.

Sort of the way white people dismiss the problems of black people. Easily.

Somebody having their own position on an issue that you believe impacts one ethnic group more than another is not racist. Having a position on an issue that is motivated by which ethnic group you believe it impacts is outright racist. I guess these days I probably shouldn’t be, but I am shocked to see openly racist rhetoric on HN.
