Want a current example of hot systemic racism works? Look at the Apple Watch. It won't work if you're black.

Apple created a system that essentially uses a green light to read your heart rate. That green light doesn't work on black skin.

It's not like Apple intentionally decided to make a watch that doesn't work for black people. But intent doesn't matter. Impact does.

@aurabogado I'm black. My Apple Watch successfully measures my heart rate. Melanin != tattoo ink. This is not difficult to understand. - 1 more reply
