According to the 2020 census, Asheville's population is 10% African American, 8% Hispanic, 4.5% mixed race, 0.6% 'some other race', 0.27% Pacific Islander, and 0.26% Native American.

That's a full 25% of the population that aren't 'kkkrackers', and god only knows how many of them, including the aforementioned 'kkkrackers', are deeply marginalized in other ways - being queer, nuerodivergent, disabled... being a member of any marginalized group in an area like Appalachia isn't easy, and now this flooding has destroyed all their lives just as much as it's made the 'kkkrackers get soggy.'

Be serious. It's a natural disaster in an extremely poor area by American standards. It's not just fucking over a bunch of rich white people.
