Why not just have a “white tax”? I mean, this is where we’re headed.

Not only is the proposal blatantly racist, but the person proposing it makes blatantly racist pronouncements.
Are there no courts in Washington state?

Some Mayors have too much time on their hands. Seattle must be crime free, have no homeless bums and a budget surplus to return to its tax payers....

They will call it a “privlidge tax” and the media will never point out how racist it is.

...which would fund education for minorities........”
What makes minorities so special? , Everyone else has to
pay for their Education?
That is biased and prejudiced against any/everyone who isn’t a minority.

Exactly- why isn’t this brought to court immediately as a blatantly racist taxation? There’s no way this tax can hold up in court- but of course they will just reword it in order to justify it and hide their true intent

Not ones that you can expect justice from. Courts are overtly political these days.
