Should be obvious(i.e. pliates, farmer's market, and coffee shop are associated with white demographic as well) " THAT is racist? Would it be more fair to ask "On the way to visit her sugar daddy in jail, Jaquisha has to stop at KFC, the unemployment office, and her crack dealer. In how many different orders can she complete these errands?" I didn't realize that only white people drink coffee and consume produce... *rolls eyes* “5.

Most people wouldn't consider a father not buying his daughter a car unjust but frugal since cars are expensive(unless you're in the rich Caucasian demographic) 2. Calling a minority benign (I'm guessing) 12. IDK (Maybe cuz its an organic food store) 5. Should be obvious(i.e. pliates, farmer's market, and coffee shop are associated with white demographic as well) 6. Maybe the tuition aspect 13. unsure I think that its not the fact that its "blatant" racism so much as it is hidden racism in the aspect that the questions seem like there directed at suburbanite Caucasians more so than the general audiences I’ll point out the racism for those who don’t see it:
