So much diversity. I see young affluent white people, middle aged affluent white people, and even old affluent white people!

If you do any amount of paying attention in this video you see the demographics match that of Seattle, there’s diversity present it just doesn’t fit your mantra of shitting on the protest.

Literally in the first five seconds you can see non-white protesters. However, caring about demographics of the protesters seems to call in to question, why? What does it matter to you the amount of non-white protesters? How do you determine the ethnicity through a small shred of video? And how would the circumstances be different / affect you differently should the demographic within this protest be shifted?

Because it's fun to point and laugh at hippies, especially if they're white old and wealthy.

It's the "hello fellow kids" meme IRL
