Sheesh. I just reread the article (3 times now...once in deference to you).
The article does not explicitly use the word "racism," but it talks all around it.
Take this paragraph for example:
Daniel Penny’s arrest for intervening to stop a clearly deranged career criminal sends a loud message: only a fool would risk being a good Samaritan, especially since the culprit’s unseen physical condition from drug abuse may put him on the edge of death. Nearly everybody remembers drug-addled George Floyd.If George Floyd had been just another drug addict, would the nation have gone up in flames?
No.
BTW, the reason subway riders are afraid is not because the city is overrun by schizophrenics like Neely. It is afraid because the police are afraid. And the police are afraid because racist politicians and DA's will single them out for conviction.
Oy.
Blah blah blah blah blah.
