Saw a truck around town today with a ridiculous lift kit and chunky off-road tires that were clearly much larger than factory standard, and it got me thinking; if you install this kind of modification in a car, do you need to adjust the speedometer to compensate? What about the odometer?
My logic is the only absolute measurement the car has is how fast the wheels and drive shaft are turning, so presumably there is some sort of multiplier - 1 revolution = X meters - that is then used to show speed and track distance travelled, but that factor would need to change if the circumference of the tires did
People who put lift kits and huge tires on a truck they’re using to drive around town don’t really use the kind of critical thinking to worry about that. They’re mostly thinking about their credit card payment and how it’s all brown people’s fault.
I hope you atleast see the irony in suggesting people are racist based on the kind of vehicle they drive.
Yeah. That’s almost as bad as claiming someone is racist because they performed a Nazi salute. Ohh wait …
Judging people for their actions/choices is nowhere near the same as judging someone for how they were born.
Concluding that someone is a lesser human because of their skin color seems just as illogical to me as calling someone a racist because they drive a lifted truck. These things are completely unrelated.
Interesting logic.
But on the other hand, I can’t help feeling like he also used some personal observation about some racists.
Not OP, but I come from a place where this is the case. Can confirm, it is a valid observation
You can know that, statistically, you are more likely to be mugged by a minority. And then there is also knowing that treating people badly based on those statistics just makes the problem worse.
