Los Angeles birds are racist, apparently

Left-wing media will do whatever it possibly can to find racism in anything. If a news story can provide some negative viewpoint, the Left will try to find a way to tie it with racism. The Los Angeles Times proved this point last week by claiming that the presence of birds in specific neighborhoods was, essentially, due to systemic racism.
Yes, the publication that said Larry Elder was the “blackface of white supremacy” now has the audacity to claim that birds are willing accomplices of systemic racism because of where they fly. And naturally, it is white people’s fault for this happening. The premise of this silly article was that different birds fly in different neighborhoods, and certain creatures take residence in only wealthy white areas.

“It was, the researchers said, a vivid illustration of the so-called luxury effect – the phenomenon by which wealthier, and typically whiter, areas attract a larger and more diverse population of birds,” the Los Angeles Times article read. “In fact, when it comes to the Los Angeles Basin, the researchers say that bird species are remarkably segregated.”
The publication uses a study that links bird populations with, remarkably, “racist home lending practices from decades ago, as well as modern health disparities.” The Los Angeles Times cited mortgage policies from the 1930s that were used to determine mortgage lending risks. The poorer areas and those with higher financial risks were mainly nonwhite, while the wealthier neighborhoods were all white. The more affluent areas “often had more bird biodiversity,” according to the Los Angeles Times.
Granted, poor white people were also considered high risks by banks and mortgage companies, but this reality doesn’t fit the left-wing narrative. Instead, the focus is that racist birds are everywhere. It’s avian systemic racism at its finest, folks.

It’s the latest thing the overly educated, white guilt crowd is using to hypothesize claims of the racist origins of the country. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a 1619 Project: Avian Edition soon emerge to really chronicle the bigoted and discriminatory practices of birds nationwide.
But like all fringe aspects of society, no one should take these race-obsessed people seriously.
