What "just to avoid"? Many people on HN are from such European style social democracies, there is no "just to avoid", we just think that is a much better system than the racialized democracy American democrats wants.
> the racialized democracy American democrats wants.
This doesn't describe anything I recognise as reality and I thought I'd already headed this off by mentioning the "You know who the real racists are?" talking points.
I'm glad we all agree that racism and sexism is bad now, I suppose that's progress of some kind.
