    Minimum wage laws are racist at their core.

    I believe the argument is that the majority of black and brown people
    can only work minimum wage jobs, and since no one wants to pay those
    people more than 7.25 $/h they'll be out of a job.

    They are designed to price out lower-skilled/lower-cost (read: minority) labor in favor of whites. In fact: that was the entire

    I'm sure those, who argue against a minimum wage because it would be
    'racist' will explain that I haven't understood their argument. 'When
    you put it that way, it sounds like I'm the racist!!!' Yup, that's my
    point.

    Minimum wage laws are racist at their
    core.

    How so?


    I believe the argument is that the majority of black and brown
    people
    can only work minimum wage jobs, and since no one wants to pay
    those
    people more than 7.25 $/h they'll be out of
    a job.

    Ah, thanks Malte.


    I'm sure those, who argue against a minimum wage because it would be
    'racist' will explain that I haven't understood their argument.
    'When
    you put it that way, it sounds like I'm the racist!!!' Yup, that's
    my
    point.

    Well, you're right, it may have had racist
    facets 90 years ago, but it doesn't now.

    Oh, but if we listen to the people who want to eliminate the
    Electoral College because of some "perceived" racist roots.....

    Biden and most elected Democrats will do

    wage,
    while
    just pretending it's something they want to do. The only

    Most of them are irrational clowns having
