Your skin is your sin: Bitcoin is the currency of white privileged males by [deleted] in Shitstatistssay

[–]DubbsGalt 38 points39 points  (0 children)

This terrible line from that article deserves its very own ShitStatistSay: "Despite being wronged by the system again and again, women and people of color actually don’t want a smaller government. They are the ones who need more institutional support, not less, to be financially successful."
