To me this reads as classism rather than racism but they don’t want to open up that can of worms

Any 1st/2nd generation immigrants are likely to be worse off, so show me Black, Romanian, Italian, Australian, Chinese data and I bet they’re all similar figures… Then compare upper class Black people to lower class White people and watch as the White people are treated overwhelmingly worse, not because of the colour of their skin, but because of how much money they have now and even how much they had growing up
