          So if we ban minorities from the logging industry, that’s the opposite of racism? It’s the deadliest occupation on earth…

          Fisherman, truck drivers, roofers… ban minorities from all of it to save their lives, because that’s the opposite of racism.

          See the flaw in the logic here? Targeting a demographic is, by the simplest definition, an act of racism. Equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. Banning minorities from entire industries would be to their ultimate benefit, and is obviously racist. Like Jim Crow obvious.

          Your point is very problematical.
