If we look at poverty statistics and see that the majority of [insert ethnicity here] people are poor, does that make me a racist?

And then there's education, and then there's employment, and housing, on and on and on.


I guess the question I'm asking is this; does making an observation make someone a racist? Racism is hate. I'm not talking about hating anyone. Does mentioning it make me a racist? Is inequality in the world a taboo topic?

Well, let's just say I have an appreciation for intelligence... and when it comes to idiots, I have a low tolerance. Really, I don't discriminate.
stupid people have stupid problems
