Nah. Nothing about Shapiro is humorous. Just sad.
Don't let your lack of values coerce you into thinking that your lack of values is justified.
Blame the culture, not the skin color. Only then will you truly understand.
Look beyond superficial attributes and instead delve into the underlying cultural dynamics that contribute to individual's behavior.
Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they lack values. When it comes to fascists in America it's honestly often quite the opposite. They disagree based on intense values shared with many other races classes etc.
And the fact that American Conservatives so often claim to be color blind etc. All while perpetuating systems with disparately racial outcomes. Only proves their dishonesty.
There are no cultural dynamics that contribute to Shapiro's behavior. And don't get me wrong I'm not saying that he has no values. They just don't extend much beyond self interest and personal wealth and power. He has no concern for anyone else. And his seeming lack of concern for programs with racial disparities outside of the ones that might impact him personally or be abused to him personally proves it.
