Wow. Look. Look at another one of these one-off, stand-alone instances that frequently become uncovered but surely isn’t indicative of some type of pattern. /s https://sahanjournal.com/business-work/century-link-internet-speed-minneapolis-redlining-black-brown-broadband/
Article is highly biased and one can’t effectively argue racism from what the article, or the articles referenced represent. The data supports a disparity of internet speeds due to income, but disparity due to racism? Hard stretch. I understand racism is out there, from every sort of human being, and that it’s bad. But I’d argue this article has more implications of racism than the internet disparity.
The article states that the income disparity is bigger than the racial disparity. So for a white and black neighborhood of the same economic status the offerings are better for the black neighborhoods... So if there is racism here it sounds like it is not against the group you think it is. Disclaimer, all I have to go on is the article you posted, I'm not trying to say that CenturyLink discriminates against white neighborhoods, just that your article seems to indicate that they do.
> So for a white and black neighborhood of the same economic status the offerings are better for the black neighborhoods How did you get to this conclusion when it literally says that’s higher percentage of black neighborhoods had bad offering
WTF is this source? Stop spreading hate. Flagged
Lmao, are you the same OP that once argued “black people in America had it worse than Jews in Nazi Germany”?
Confirmed, found a line of code in the code base: If race == enums.Black { throttleSpeed() }
The investigation by The Markup, which examined more than 800,000 internet service offers in 38 cities, showed that Minneapolis has some of the highest disparities in the country.
