re: LA Times podcast claims Trump's appeal to 'Suburban Housewives of America' is racist, yo

quote:

---

numerous appeals the president has made in recent months to white voters' fears of crime and declining property values, especially those living in suburban communities. Trump has spoken of Democrats' "bringing who knows into your suburbs" and warning on Twitter that the integration plan was a danger to "The Suburban Housewives of America".

He’s not wrong. And anybody who thinks low income housing brings anything other than blight and crime to once safe neighborhoods is lying to themselves and is choosing virtue signaling over intellectual honesty.

Also, the fact that people like this writer automatically thinks low income = black is at the very least guilty of the soft bigotry of low expectations.
