Todd Hannula 🤓 and alto, you may have the best of intentions but I think this whole discussion sounds exactly like my fable about sexism. It’s so ridiculous to have a bunch of white people arguing over what they think racism is without getting the real scoop from the people who actually have to live with racism.
