@humantransit@PeterMoskos@nicolegelinas the disagreement is with you framing the fear of public transit as a fear of diversity (qt'ing a post about muslim women). It's not a fear of diversity. It's very specifically a fear of violent homeless crack heads.
@onesecondonly@humantransit Right, people are very specifically saying "unpredictable homeless drug addicts are scary" and people like Carl and Jarrett are trying to transform the argument into "minorities are scary." They're not the same thing!
@humantransit@amaldorai This is a bait and switch to reframe the argument. Nobody is afraid of Muslims in hijabs on the train. They are very specifically afraid of homeless drug addicts who tend to be unpredictable. Old black women in the Bronx express the most concerns over safety. Are they racist?
