What do you mean, exactly? Write it out so everyone can see. You know, show, don’t tell.
So who cares what her race is if she’s just a POS Republican.
So the election of the first black female LTG in the Commonwealth doesn’t count for anything in your vaunted opinion? Thanks for walking straight into that statement. Unbelievable.
I think her race and gender are irrelevant if she’s unfit to be Lt G.
If you don’t think Lt Governor Sears is fit for the position, the surely you didn’t support Hala Ayala (who had zero skills or experience for the job)?

Oh wait, this doesn't fit the media narrative.
Asians and white people can't be considered disadvantaged ethnic groups. Get that in your heads people of VA. Asians and whites are privileged.
^^^^^^^this is what a racist sounds like

If you are a Youngkin supporter, do you think that racism exists in any form in VA today?
Overt racism?
Racial biases?
Systemic racism?
Are there racist people in the state, in this country, all over the world? Of course. Is that what you mean by "overt racism?" Do I encounter them on a regular basis? No.
Racial biases? Certainly. How about the obvious political bias when you specifically call out Youngkin supporters to answer this question?
Systemic racism? Maybe, a little. But nothing like in the past.
Would you support efforts to reduce various forms of racism in VA?
NP here and not Youngkin supporter.
What form do those efforts take? What kind of actions have been shown to have a significant effect on racism on a population wide level?
I would like to see serious reductions in racism and I make individual efforts to that end, but I don’t know what really works on a lagger level.
So your biggest concern is if efforts are effective?
Not sure what you mean by “biggest concern,” but isn’t the goal to end racism? Doesn’t it make sense to do as much as possible and be as effective as possible?
Who said the goal is to end racism? Majorities change, just look at TJ. Asians became the majority and then suddenly politicians were making disparaging comments about Asian students and wanted to then lower Asian enrollment in favor of other minorities.
Wait- you think racism is okay?

We need to teach about the tragic and difficult parts of our history. I’m against CRT as the mode of teaching about racism, but I think our racist past (and present) should be confronted and taught.

And wherever Black folks are, or Hispanics, or Asians....
I honestly think you only feel pleasure when wallowing in discussions of racism 24/7. You'll never get what you're looking for, though.
