Railroads are racist!

The majority of mainline railroad right-of-way in this country was built in the late 19th/early 20th century off the backs of Chinese and black slave labor.
The essence of Jim Crow was separating whites and blacks in heavyweight passenger railcars.
Additionally, the most prestigious job a black man could have through the early 20th century was a Pullman porter on long-distance passenger trains.
Should we tear down all of our railroads? Clearly racist!

We should probably just nuke the entire country from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure we get rid of racism.
