You have it backwards. The Dems aren’t bringing race into it, they’re framing the issue in a way more likely to garner support from their fellow Democrats and base who care about helping marginalized communities.

You see this a lot with Supreme Court cases where the legal teams form their arguments specially to be persuasive to a specific swing judge.

What's the term for someone who is motivated by putting things into a racial context? A racist?

It's like you tried to find the worst faith interpretation of what I said.

A: You have a group of people who, broadly speaking, are motivated to address systemic racial and economic inequality.

B: You will have better luck getting someone on-board with your piece of legislation if you frame it in the context of an issue they care about.

A + B: Hello senator, this bill I'm proposing about gas ranges will help address systemic racial and economic inequality because...

The idea that you think A is talking about a group of racists is quite literally insane.

"People are being harmed!"

"Yawn, what color are they?"

"White."

"Oh that's a serious issue then!"

I grew up cooking on gas stove. The house I'm in now came with an ancient coil electric range (1979 harvest gold color model). I can't wait to redo the kitchen to put back in a gas stove again.

I also looked into induction, but only my cast iron skillet would work -- the stainless steel cookware I have apparently is the non-magnetic type (a magnet doesn't stick to them) so they won't work with induction.

Induction is great though, just replace the old stuff.

It's very fast and so much easier to clean. I wouldn't want to go back to gas really.

> Induction is great though, just replace the old stuff.

Not all "old stuff" has an induction compatible replacement. Induction does not work for everyone, even if you're willing to replace all of your pans.

"Just replace the old stuff" doesn't work very well when all the manufacturers have outsourced to China, which produces unsafe cookware. Eliminating all non-stick cookware to avoid forever chemicals was hard enough.

I'll keep my gas range with real vent hood, thank you.
