I’m not a fan of cancel culture, but I’ve seen enough to know that I want to move my Bitcoin trading elsewhere. Their prebuttal seemed odd, and now this article confirms the worst of my suspicions.

I’m not saying they’re racist, but they’re clearly not anti-racist.




Being "not racist" - AKA the unfairly-maligned philosophy of "color blindness" - is a perfectly reasonable aspiration. I shouldn't be any more concerned with skin color than hair color or eye color.

I find the "anti-racist" philosophy of Kendi et al. to be misguided at best and divisive and racist at worst.


> aspiration

That's pretty much what it is, and it cannot be realized in our lifetimes to say the least.

>I shouldn't be any more concerned with skin color than hair color or eye color.

And yet, there are others who will never get to hold those aspirations.

>divisive and racist at worst

Sad, yet unsurprising.
