    Why stop there? Shoulda started with a few homeless people. Even the homeless can use a game controller, I think…

    PS: I don’t agree with what the meme is implying, but it’s funny anyway. I mean, if the submersible didn’t have two pakistanis in it, people who cared about the submersible would have been deemed racist because they only care about the submersible because it was filled with well-off white men. And I am saying this as a brown man :) I cared more about the story because it had two Pakistanis in it. I can only imagine it would get good coverage in a country with majority white people.

      The vast majority of reports and commentaries about the incident say nothing about the race of the passengers. They instead talk about how stupid it is to use a composite hull for deep dives. People are interested in this news because of the hubris involved - and the wealthy to a lesser extent. But not by race.
