But, not seeing the connection doesn't somehow make it a non-issue. It just means that you, personally, (assuming whoever that "you" is who doesn't see the connection, just doesn't see it.
Now, when that same "you" insists that there is no connection, even after the connection is clearly explained, then there really is a problem.
Why is it that people jump all over the fact that one person of a given ethnicity doesn't see the problem, but, when lots of other people do, it's ignored? "Oh, well, this one person from this ethnicity doesn't think it's a problem, so, the problem doesn't exist" or, even worse, "I'M a person from this ethnicity and I don't see a problem therefore no problem exists" is just bizarre.
Note, many of the people who are pointing out the problems here are probably not directly affected by the problem. But, like the OP who did lots of research, clearly laid out the issues, people STILL insist that the elephant doesn't exist.
The mental knots that people turn themselves into to try to pretend that issues don't exist is truly breathtaking.
