    Crackers in the comments as always with the “we can’t have healthcare because black people exist” shit. Transit and healthcare are always an issue of “homogeneity of a country” bro what the fuck are you on do you even hear yourself?

      They never ask why the infrastructure isn’t homogeneous. Red lining, sundown towns, priorities over who gets clean water. Fucking segregation laws making it impossible for black people to get seating on buses.

      Diversity wasn’t the problem. It was the systemic reaction to it.

      God I’m tired.

        The whole white flight to suburbia thing gutted city budgets around the whole country. If it costs five times as much money to deliver basic city services to the same number of people, that leaves a lot less room in the budget for other things.

      The historically and presently ethnically homogenous nation of Russia.

      Especially a wild claim when talking about a metro system ordered by a Georgian and designed by a Ukrainian Jew.

        The argument that crackers will respond with is even worse, which is that africans and arabs / middle easterners provide the kind of diversity that destroys a society, and Asians are the good kind of diversity, since they aren’t thieves/criminals/drugdealers/w/e

      They’re right, but not in the way they think. White people would rather cancel public entitlement programs than give black people one red cent.

        Liberals view China as having the Han majority (bad, supremacists) and the Uyghurs (good, scrappy minority put down by the system) and perform no introspection on why their brains envision such a system
