[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What seems fake to you about supporting black-owned businesses?[/quote]

I wouldn't say it is fake, but it's likely racist.You just discriminated against a business owner due to the color of their skin.[/quote]

That is not discrimination.[/quote]

By the very literal definition of the word, it is discrimination. But it’s discrimination that we as a society (or at least part of our society) have decided is okay, or even necessary,, to support minorities.  At this moment we’re choosing one minority group over a host of others, which some may see fault with.[/quote]

No it isn't. Refusing to support a certain group due to their race is discrimination. Being aware that there are many types of people with businesses and making sure you equally support all of them is not discrimination. nobody has said, don't support Asian businesses. What they are saying is be aware of black owned businesses in your area and support them equally.[/quote]

I’d agree with you, except that the Yelp filter literally discriminated against all business that aren’t black-owned.  If it showed you all businesses fitting the search criteria, but then included a banner that was like “hey, support black business! We’ve put stars by those”!  Then I think it would be less discriminatory. To be clear, I don’t have an issue with what Yelp is doing, I just think that it’s discrimination (by the literal sense of the word) in a moment when one minority group needs support. [/quote]

Again. It’s only discrimination if they refuse to make other filters when asked to do so.[/quote]
