If UBI is racist, then it seems to me that literally everything is racist.
You cannot change a government policy without somehow, somewhere affecting some minority. If we are going to going to call that racism, then we really cannot even have policy discussions.
Obviously Murray is a particularly controversial person, but UBI is obtaining small amounts of broad support in general.
I guess it just feels a bit exhausting to me. While I understand the reasoning behind what you wrote (and it's logical and internally consistent), I also feel one could just as reasonably make the case that not supporting UBI is racist.
