As someone who lived in various food deserts, this is real. Thankfully our family has a car but it was a long drive to anywhere

Sometimes when I talk about them, people think I'm being racist. Usually privileged white people who get by on virtue signaling and condemning others, but who never had to learn about things like food deserts and redlining.

Like, if it's supposedly racist to talk about the systemic issues that people of color disproportionally face, then what the fuck are we supposed to be doing? Pretending "no, it's fine, the non-racist thing to do is more performative messaging that relieves us of feeling any moral responsibility"?
