Just for the record, I abhor this concept of "race." Race is nothing more than a social construct. There is an insignificant genetic disparity between the so-called races and virtually all disparities and societal reactions are based upon socioeconomic factors. We do a disservice to ourselves and any discussion by dumping populations into buckets based on the amount of melanin produced by that individual or group.
That said ... I get it, its easy (albeit incredibly lazy) to ignore the socioeconomic factors that motivate certain actions and conditions and just slap the race label on it.
With regard to the article cited by
@Vin, the author/reporter himself breaks the cardinal rule of reporting by doing nothing to verify the statement “If you were a white team they wouldn’t ask you for addresses,” he says. “I don’t think the white teams have to pay upfront.” Really? How do we know this is true? I'm not saying it isn't, but the lack of confirmation is disappointing.
