Comment on We all know crack was introduced primarily to black neighbor hoods. Why them? Why not people in the Appalachians? Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast?

Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast?

Most East-Asians don’t do drugs btw…

Especially 1st gens and the 1.5/2nd gens that grew up under 1st gen parents

(future generations that get more “Americanized” might be more willing to use illegal drugs)

There’a a huge cultural stigma as a remnant of the Opium Wars… “Drugs=Bad” was heavily drilled into my upbringing… and I was told alcohol and gambling were bad too… and I kinda agreed with it and just accepted theae statements as facts

Like white dudes literally tried the “introduce drugs to your people” thing before… we’re kinda culturually immunized to it, we see what y’all doing, we aint doing it
