Wow.
I had to read this, just to see how air conditioner placement is racist. Let’s review why:
1. The air conditioners make a buzz noise. (As a former Ithaca resident, I will attest that it will only make the buzz noise in July and August.)
2. Apparently, the buzz noise is making porch sitting uncomfortable. Whereas the noise from the school busses every morning and the cars passing by on the busy intersecting streets are ok.
3. The buzz noise is disrespectful to trees (which do not have ears).
4. Someone is making a complaint (the article doesn’t specify if any formal complaints were made or if the resident is simply whinning to a third-rate newspaper). The complainer claims that rich people (in Cayuga Heights??) get better resolution of complaints because they are rich and white.
5. Therefore the air conditioner placement is racist.
I see.
**5. Therefore the air conditioner placement is racist.

ONLY in Ithaca would these five points make sense!!
