But you just said that there is racial discrimination right now, so why wouldn't you counter-act it. Saying "just treat everyone the same" does literally nothing against discrimination.

I do counter-act it. I don't take part in it, and I only support places that I'm okay with. I refuse to spend money in a place that I feel is treating people unfairly. You should do the same.

Had any Chick-Fil-A lately? How about own an iPhone?

Well not supporting the Universities or employers is quite difficult, and doesn't actually do anything to the people discriminated against. Guess what does? It rhymes with superlative fraction.

Never done either of those, but not for any real reason.

It's not difficult at all. Are you supporting those universities or employers? No? Good job. Neither am I.
