This looks like an attack on hipsters, who are the ones generally associated with craft beer, and who are indeed generally white and middle class.

So whites have culturally appropriated beer? I didn't know that.

Should whites only drink mead from now on? Cider perhaps?

Maybe we should all just identify as black? That might help things.

It's Critical Race theory.

It's no use using facts against it. We live in world of truth where facts no longer matter. To keep trying is a form of neurosis. You need to attack the collective psyche involved

Here's a good exposition of it by Scott Adams(Dilbert cartoonist)

@Wadders - you can't deny there is systemic racism though surely?

It's just the way things are. There is always a hierarchy. To work against that is to work against nature herself. In spite of the moralist doctrines.

RS, most people of any ethnicity or nationality are a little bit racist (you admitted to being very racist), that just can't be helped. I think the UK as a whole is on the more tolerant end of the spectrum. Could be better, but could be a lot worse.

But saying that beer is racist is insane, I am sure the supermarkets and pubs are happy selling beer to anybody who wants to drink it.
