Her racist attitude is alarming as not only a person, but is magnified by the fact that she is the mayor of Chicago.
Imagine being the reporter whose "beat" is Chicago politics? There goes your way of life simply because you're caucasian.
Of course I have to ask that what if this was done by any other white mayor? What if Bill De Blasio, mayor of New York city or Gil Garcetti, mayor of L.A. proclaimed that they won't be interviewed if your a person of color? Oh my God! There would be mass coverage, people calling for their resignation or firing, protests in the streets! But no, it's a black person racially discriminating against a white, that seems to be ok and we just have to sit back and take it.
What bothers me more than this act is that no one seems to care? No major news coverage across the board? A couple of days a few outlets ran with it but with no great urgency to get to the bottom of it?
Maybe the "bottom of it" is that we as white people should just take it and get use to it?
We seem to be doing a stellar job at it so far.

One of the mega coronavirus relief bills had massive aid to farmers buried in it with the proviso that the aid would not be available to white farmers. That was put in the bill by Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia and passed by the House and Senate. Our own government has approved of and institutionalized racism, as long as it is against white people.
