You said just before they have a "harder time" getting aid. Yet the articles you posted said they just did not have preferential treatment, that's very different from having a "harder time".
By that logic you're going to divide society into a million or more categories. What about Slovakian immigrant men aged 60-65? How do they compare to everyone else, they're also a minority, much smaller than the African-Americans. What about Burmese young adults? Skin color is arbitrary and it is about skin color in US when you have people who are 75% genetically European calling themselves "black".
I’m in immigrant who was making minimum wage and barely spoke English when I came to the US, and living with 6 roommates of different skin color. I was at a huge disadvantage but later ran several mail-based and online businesses where no one knew my skin color or accent or gender. And there are millions of people working for themselves, selling via eBay, Amazon and Etsy stores, doing online marketing, consulting, building apps, freelancing on Fiverr, etc - without anyone knowing their skin color. But how many of them are black? As many as black people having decent jobs, or less. The bare truth is exposed when no one knows anyone’s skin color and successful blacks are still hard to find. You don’t wait till someone drags you into being employed because of your skin color. You take matters into your own hands, you decide about your fate and your future. Don’t use skin color as an excuse to be “disadvantaged”.
If you've lived in US for generations and are still dirt poor, you've only got yourself to blame. I'd also like to know if dark skinned Indonesians, Filipinos and Indians also qualify as "people of color" because they earn more than the average white person apparently. Just a little inconvenient fact to throw off your theory.
and you must be the rule and not the exception. These anecdotes are silly when talking statistics. Because wealth is confiscated by the government upon your death? What is the starting income of the immigrant groups you describe? Were they enslaved and further denied w/systemic racist policies? Did they get thrown into absolute squalor in crime ridden ghettos or they give their kids the best possible chance by being selective in their housing? Did they grow up in broken up homes from a system that incarcerates their fathers on the pettiest of shit or grow up in a healthy nuclear household?
How many of the black people alive today were enslaved? Should the people whose ancestors were sent to Siberia to die also moan and protest every day? They don't, life goes on, they didn't personally suffer because of it, the parents or grandparents did. You're owed nothing in 2020. What are these systemic racist policies you talk about? Do you mean getting preferential treatment when applying into universities? Asians didn't get it, they actually suffered because blacks were preferred over them even if they had worse scores as has been brought up over and over again. Many of the Asians in US come from far worse conditions and background than US blacks, yet anecdotally the ones I know do well because guess what, they get educated and get jobs. If you're a black youth in US, meaning your parents and most probably your grandparents were "free" in the economic sense, you should also have inherited some wealth. Black fathers are in jail because they're criminals, it's quite simple. They don't have to steal, it's who they are (by they I mean literally the specific people you talk about). I grew up in a shitty area, chasing thieves (who stole food!) as a teenager, being held up at knife point etc. as were most people who lived in the neighborhood. They lead pretty average lives now, nothing was given for free. You can always find an excuse for your personal failure, as the BLM folks are. My guess is BLM types will be complaining about the same stuff 50-100 years from now unless there's literally a 50% tax put on people that are not Black.
Are you saying that blacks are so lazy and stupid that they can't do what millions of others do online without anyone knowing their race? Everyone is an exception except for blacks? You're a racist and insulting all blacks. And btw, I'm not an exception, I did what I had to when no one else would give me a job.
That's what it is. Effectively a dark skinned Indian is not a minority or disadvantaged but a lighter skinned African-American (who is most likely half Caucasian) is. How about that logic.
