First, you're quoting a statement I did not make. Please do not falsely quote people.
Second, you identified your race, not me ("Pretty insulting to a non white person..."). And you're ascribing feelings to me that I do not possess, nor that have I expressed or intended to imply. I'm sorry you think that way, but it's simply not true. I truly believe that technical acumen is something within the reach of all races and that no race is superior. It is the financial means to leverage wealth into even more wealth that is unevenly distributed, and that distribution greatly favors white men. That's just an incontrovertible fact.
Everyone investing in crypto is gambling, regardless of race. So if you're going to be insulted by that, know that it's not a race thing; everyone can be equally insulted by that if they so choose.
