What's your problem?  They're just trying to open up their business to
more people.  You presumably have your own resources, anyway, I
wouldn't learn from them, but from reference materials themselves.

Hmm, so racial discrimination and unequal treatment is OK now?  As long
as we can make a business case for it?

Apparently so. If you try to say white lives matter, you're a "racist." I
guess only black lives matter these days.

I hope you were drunk when you wrote that.

Racism is racism, it doesn't matter if it's anti-white racism by blacks, or
anti-black racism by whites. There is no such thing as "reverse
discrimination." It's just discrimination, and it's now mostly anti-white
(and anti-Asian) discrimination by our (so-called) "own" government.

Actually it's not even black and white anymore. Now it's turning into anti
U.S. citizen discrimination. Illegal aliens are now taking over homes and
the U.S. citizen owners get arrested for trying to evict them. This crap has
got to stop.

And people wonder why Trump has 28% lead in the polls over Biden on the
illegal alien issue. And that piece of senile crap in the White House is
still trying to keep the illegal alien pipeline wide open.
