Damn, if that's their 'real' job, they're doing a terrible job of it! You're wrong, actually, I live in a major city I know a lot of Chinese and Indian people, including my wife, and an easy majority my coworkers at work are the same, including the CEO--hell, the CEOs of most major tech companies at this point...and the police haven't done shit to stop them! Hell, there's a bunch of black families that have moved right into my neighborhood--which is a pretty nice neighborhood, I might add--and they're walking around here like they have the same rights as everybody else!
Somebody really ought to remind these cops what their real job is, cuz they're failing at it pretty horribly.
White clown lmao. "Cops are fine because I don't see the bad shit they do because I'm white (but I know Indians and my wife is Chinese or some shit and one time I voted for a black person to be president)"
Edit: also somehow "Cops aren't racist because non white people are CEOs"
??? The fuck are you on lmao or was that more of a "racism doesn't exist anymore" sort of sentiment.
I think you're doing a much better job of arguing against yourself than I could.
Your argument is logically the same as saying All Lives Matter or Not All Men. Misses the point entirely.
Like so many white folks in "nice neighborhoods" you base your reality and world view around the comfortable bubble in which you live.
"The institution of policing is fine because it works out for me" is what you are telling me. Privileged as fuck and you don't even know it. Classic.
