I have noticed that frequently those on the left will automatically charge racism and sexism when their assumptions are challenged.
Since this seems to contain a reference to me, let me clarify once again. Sometimes, when I have heard people describe what they perceive as the typical Welfare recipient, or rail about the onerous 1-percent-of-the-budget tax burden it creates, the person also happens to be racist. I don't draw that conclusion entirely from their remarks about Welfare, which is why I haven't drawn it about you. I also draw it from other things those people have said.
Maybe it's entirely a coincidence, and their racist views have nothing to do with their reasoned assessment of welfare's efficacy. Again:
Opposition to welfare is not, in and of itself, racist. However, it doesn't take a huge logical leap to surmise that, although the majority of welfare recipients are white, they are disproportionately black and according to stereotype almost exclusively black, so racism may enter into the viewpoints of at least some opponents of the system.
Let me put it another way. Most Welfare opponents may not be racist. But I would guess most racists are Welfare opponents. Except, of course, the racists who are also Welfare
recipients.That clarified, I'm happy to move on.
