26. Women and minorities are disproportionately badly affected by the economy.
The column makes it sound like white men are being hurt the most by the capitalist economy. In fact, women and minorities are hurt by capitalism even more than white men. If being abused and disenfranchised made people into mass murderers then we would see a lot more female and minority mass murderers. So the basic premise of this column is incorrect.
The statements in the final paragraph in the message are mainly true, but it's not true that "white men" or "our young men" are the ones who suffer the most from these inequalities. |
