      That’s been clearly explained at least twice already. Why are you sealioning?

        It’s been assumed as true, but no one has bothered to even try to explain how they can be certain that racism is the only factor at play. Anyone that’s lived in a small town knows small town bigotry is never cut-and-dried.

        But I know it feels more satisfying to go with the simplistic answer that it’s just plain racism and challenging that with nuance is never popular.

          Both the requirements to “be certain” and for it to be the “only factor” are attempts at moving the goalposts. Quit trolling.

            If you think that’s true where did you think the original ‘goalposts’ were?

            Not sure how you’re missing this but I’ve been saying it’s not the only factor from the get-go. And if you are uncertain it’s soley racism why are you objecting to my statement that there are other factors?
