Wow, that was racist

I read a pretty solid piece involving race recently (specifically it was about language and focused on the word "niggardly"), and in it the author stated (paraphrasing here): "When it comes to minorities, there's black, then there's everyone else." Sure it's a broad stroke, but it's true. Yes, there are some gross large scale incidents in our country's past and daily snide, ignorant remarks, but they don't hold a candle to slavery and segregation.

That makes the author look very ignorant. Sure, the slavery and segregation were really bad, but going from there to claiming that the genocide of native americans "don't hold a candle" in comparison seems outright insulting to native americans.
