"No, you cant be here in 2014 and say "it just so happens white people are less affected by poverty." " I'm not saying it's that way for no reason. I'm just saying that it's true. What Lin said was a factual statement about the world and not something that indicates some kind of bias on his part. "His characters are white because white is the default and removing any sign of ethnicity or non white culture makes it safe to assume white. " This is malarkey. That would make his argument: "The default is white. Lin didn't specify a race. Because white is default, Lin's character is white. Because Lin's character is white by default, Lin is supporting white as the default."
