Wal-Mart is leaving Chicago because A) they want to starve black neighborhoods, or B) they're getting shoplifted into oblivion. If you think the latter, you're committing aversive racism.
You think our racial backgrounds aren't why you make $350K a year but I only make $250K, but think it's because you got 3 PhDs and I became a construction worker? You're using your PhDs to commit aversive racism.
