I guess it's time to start identifying as indigenous, since I am indigenous to the USA.

Does this include Asians? Or in this case are they considered “white”?

Huge downside is you have to live in Oakland if you do that.

So the white rich folks gon pay for this? Why do white people let this bullshite keep happening? Imagine if blacks were forced to pay for $500 a month for Indian families, and how pissed those blacks would be and how much noise they would make about it.

The west coast is one fricked up place. Maybe they are doing this on purpose to get all the blacks to move out there. If so,

Liberal states and cities are free to do this. Enjoy. In fact, they should advertise to attract more liberals to California and Illinois.

So if some white people choose to identify as such, they can be selected for this?

I know someone who manages a Walmart Super Center. He’s been getting lots of complaints about very few registers being open for checkout and no one there to fill online pickup orders. He said that he simply cannot get the needed number of people to work. Many of the people he hires will consistently not show up for work, not call in, some for long periods of time. When they do decide to show up, he has no choice but to continue to employ them, just because he needs warm bodies to work.

I'm sure that $500 will be spent on bread and milk
