      Naw.

      Institutional racism exists still.

      But in 2024 economically speaking it worse for all of us, regardless of race.

      Like, if you were just making a dumb joke. Fine, whatever.

      But if you honestly don’t understand this, I can spare some time to help you

          They said Irish and Italians weren’t considered “white” at the time…

          That isn’t the 1990s which is the period referred to in OPs post.

          But whatever racial/ethnic group you’re talking about, they were better off economically in the 1990s than the 2020s.

          So whatever they were saying, was wrong. It’s just a matter of how they’re wrong depending on what they meant. We won’t know what they meant till they clarify.

          So I have no idea why you rushed to make an uninformed “joke” like you did.

          But the more you type, the less productive this looks like it’ll be.
