    Im pretty certain that the civil rights act prevents them from only offering it to white people, as coincidentally the 1960s was when our racist and eugenics based immigration system from the early twentieth century was finally overturned

      They don’t only offer it to white people, they offer it to people who fall under a specific combination of criteria that happens to coincidentally exclude all but white people.

      Oh but it is. As is all the other things that benefit Musk. Because his departure is theater. There’s a reason none of his contracts have been canceled. There’s a reason he just got a huge fat new contract a few weeks ago.

      I believe that saying you are explicitly providing a way to get around a paywall is technically against the rules of this community or instance because the mods/admins don’t want to be taken down for copyright stuff

      However, if the above article doesn’t seem to be loading correctly for you for some mysterious reason (e.g. who knows, perhaps there’s some networking problem or a server outage somewhere), then it’s perfectly fine for me to offer you an archive mirror to help you workaround this purely technical issue - https://archive.is/s0EUX

    Weird since they were only focused on taking white farm owners land. So when did diversity become part of the conversation?

      White farm owners who’s families y’know, showed up, killed the natives, and took the land for themselves.

        So early 1900’s the land was stolen. Then farmers produced product for locals and possible exports. Then said okay we are taking your land without compensation because your great grand parents stole this land?

            Crime has existed for as long as man has walked earth. Some things are stolen and never get returned. This is a strange concept. Due to early 1900s your great ancestors stealing land. We are stealing the land back from you without giving you compensation.

            They are doing the exact action that happened over 100 years ago. So nothing was learned?
