Two sisters and a teenage son moved to a Colorado campsite last July, living off canned food. They had wanted to take a break from a world that distressed them, a local coroner said.
Of course you couldn’t resist blaming white people for this. Actually sad because I agree with the rest, but what do race have to do with that? such an American thing.
Have you ever been to the US? Do you know anything about our history? Race and class are so deeply intertwined in this country, it’s going to take a lot more than some non-Americans mad on the internet, telling us to just quit bringing up race, to fix it.
And don’t mistake this as excusing our deeply ingrained racism, I just tire of people who have never spent a day in the US thinking that if we just “stop talking about race” then all of our race issues will magically go away, when it’s just not that simple.
I don’t think questioning racializing something as arbitrary as living off grid amounts to the same thing as “just stop talking about race.” That’s either really misunderstood or just a bad faith argument.
Poor people can’t “live off the grid”. Only people with money and privilege can do so, and in the US, such people are disproportionately white. I don’t think I misunderstood anything or am acting in bad faith.
