This was the sentence I found most egregious:

    In reality, in the US for example, racism against black people is frowned upon so hard, that it's really not a factor in why they're not successful.

Lots of awful things are frowned upon hard; that doesn't make them no longer a "factor" in causing harm.

Otherwise, I liked what you had to say about wealth, the virtuous cycle of saving, and questioning pat answers about "sitting on money."
