Comment on Do you need to adjust your speedometer if you change the size of your tires?

People who put lift kits and huge tires on a truck they’re using to drive around town don’t really use the kind of critical thinking to worry about that. They’re mostly thinking about their credit card payment and how it’s all brown people’s fault.

I hope you atleast see the irony in suggesting people are racist based on the kind of vehicle they drive.

Judging people for their actions/choices is wildly different from judging someone for how they were born.

Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.

Yeah. That’s almost as bad as claiming someone is racist because they performed a Nazi salute. Ohh wait …

Interesting logic.
But on the other hand, I can’t help feeling like he also used some personal observation about some racists.

Not OP, but I come from a place where this is the case. Can confirm, it is a valid observation

You can know that, statistically, you are more likely to be mugged by a minority. And then there is also knowing that treating people badly based on those statistics just makes the problem worse.
