Here's an interesting thought. When japan goes through disasters. The people most negatively effected/affected are japanese. Mexico? Mexicans. Africa? Africans. It's always very odd that in a majority white country. The people seen to need the most help most often whenever any disaster happens. Isn't white people. You can run down the list. Hurricanes, covid-19, housing crisis, drugs addiction, etc. You name it. Doesn't matter what it is. The people who appear to need the most help no matter what problem it is...in a majority white country....aren't white people.

​

Why is it interesting? Well, because it means one of two things. Either america curb stomps people of color so much and so often that people of color always take the brunt of the damage anytime anything happens. Or. America is so biased that it wants to present people of color as having been curb stomped by america so much that it doesn't matter the disaster people of color are presented as taking the brunt of it. So either america has actually targeted people of color so much and for so long (even talking current events) that it's almost like the entire country hates us. Or the vast majority of white people in america get off from seeing people of color be painted as the most needy groups of people in america.

​

Meaning either way. Not only is it very bad. But it means racism is still a pillar of america.
