The original article reported on and protested at incidents of racism against Black people and other ethnic minorities in the US. John posted a comment pointing out (in rather sarcastic fashion) that many white people in the US are poor. Why?
Either it was meant to be a completely separate news report (which I doubt) or the point can only have been to portray the original article as one-sided.
I felt this was unfair, as the original poster had said nothing derogatory about white people or dismissive of poverty, but had simply reported their own experience of racism.
Hence I pointed out the logical nonsense of rebutting every report on racism with the (true but surely irrelevant) observation that some white people are poor.
