This exactly. Ignore the racists.[/quote]
Gavin de Becker has spoken publicly about how much it bothers him that people use his book to justify racism and homophobia. [/quote]

Still confused about what PP means about “ignore the racists”. Which racists? Who has mentioned race on this thread?[/quote]
If you don’t understand that “lower income” is often used as code for POC, especially in the DMV, then I can’t help you because you are living in a whole different world with a different set of facts than I am.[/quote]

DP here. I don't understand how considering "low income" or "high crime" areas makes you a racist. Are we supposed to ignore these blatant facts? I grew up in a low income neighborhood, the child of poor immigrants, and it is an undeniable fact that there was a LOT more crime there than in my current middle class neighborhood. Would I want to raise my kid in my old neighborhood? Heck no! My parents had to live there for economic reasons but I do not. Maybe I did grow up in a whole different world with a whole different set of facts than you, but I am struggling to understand why you would accuse people of racism as soon as they consider factors such as poverty and crime.
