The SBA has decided to forgive loans to Asians. Only Asians.

Racist or not?

The USDA has decided to relax regulations on Hispanic owned businesses. Only those owned by Hispanics.

Racist or not?

The IRS has decided to not audit returns from Jews. Everybody else is at risk.

Racist or not?



From what Lad/93 has said here in the last few pages their answers will be:

No
No
No

IF, and that's a big IF, they agree that any of those three are racist, I want to know how that is different from what we (I?) have been discussing.

BTW, the princess is safe.

Is there a fundamental reason as to why any of those actions would be taken? How long will they occur for? And so on. What if it turned out that all SBA loans to Asians had been given out at higher interest rates compared to others? I think it would be understandable to forgive loans that were discriminatory...

Again, this goes to what I was talking to Ham about. I'm not immediately against these actions simply because race is a determining factor (and same goes for finding it racist), and you and Tanq prefer to operate in this binary world of if race is considered, then it is by default racist. I disagree with that viewpoint.
