Walking through an American car suburb is nothing like walking through a European city. Racism is still racism, even if the target is Americans. Don’t be a racist.
Thankfully, calling out dipshits for the dipshit things that they do is not racism. Houstonians have a choice, and they choose… that kind of abomination.
It’s racist because you’re ascribing it as an innate characteristic of the American people. Plenty of people have to and do walk through Houston, as that video documents. The wealthy oil oligarchs just had the city built in a way that required car use.
Nah, I feel like you’re really reaching. Walking is an innate characteristic of all humans. One of the defining characteristics, some say. That poor people walk in Houston is not a revelation. However, it is unconsciously making cars an instrument of punishment for the poor (forced to walk in a car-dominated hellscape), that is the dipshit behavior, and hell yes I’ll judge Americans all day for being so cruel. It’s anything but innate; you can’t choose your skin color or sexual orientation, but you certainly can choose not to scream about removing a few street parking spots for an important bike lane.
The observation that Americans don’t walk unless it’s a special event comes from a lifetime of observing my fellow Americans. Hell, I watch my neighbors drive 4 blocks to the grocery store almost daily.
