I’m really confused by arguing this is “adding racism”. If I just so happen not to build a ramp into my building aren’t I de facto discriminating against the disabled? It might be economically beneficial to me to save on the cost of ramp building, and I may not be like “fuck wheelchairs”, but I’m still discriminating against the disabled.

Also, I don’t understand why it’s unreasonable to consider race in any broad societal inequality where it just so happens the inequality is concentrated on race. I consider slavery to be a form of societal tech debt of the United States where this discussion is happening: the United States literally enslaved a race of people for over a century and then fought tooth and nail in every level of government against ever giving blacks anything. Within living memory blacks weren’t allowed to vote because of their blackness in that country. Black adults now had to be sent to white schools with national guard protection because the United States populace was going to be violent to children just for going to a non-black school. In this context how the hell can anyone dissociate race from anything in that country? Race was practically in every government policy, drove their only civil war, was part of every subsidy and even in their constitution.
