i don't think anyone here doesn't believe that! what is at issue isn't that! what is at issue is whether you can say that white workers benefit from racism by calling that exploitation. does the woman who hires a housekeeper exploit that housekeeper? does the couple who buys all the meals preprepared and eat off disposable dishes exploit the people who make the disposable tableware and the food they eat? does the dot.com worker or lawyer exploit the physician's assistant who checks out his strep throat and prescribes antibiotics?
