The irony of them making a racial and gendered generalization on swimming skills lmao.

It's always bothered me when people will blame a phenomenon and call it racist, when the systematic racism lies in our society and its response to the phenomenon. Climate change isn't consciously choosing to target minorities, but societies are choosing not to support the minority groups disproportionately affected by it.
