If you have a white coffee drinking friend, he or she may have even let you in on the old coffee joke white coffee drinkers share when PoC aren't around: "there are three things that are necessary in order to make a cup of coffee, and they are: first, a black man to roast the coffee; second, a yellow man to grind it; and third, a white man to drink it."

This literally has never happened in the presence of anyone currently living

It's not just that Black folks cannot afford specialty coffee, but the very acceptance of the term "specialty coffee" suggests that some coffee is somehow superior to others, an idea that is rooted in whiteness. Values like "hard work creates better products" is an white supremacist idea that is constantly forced upon people of color and justifies stereotypes like the myth of "laziness" in people of color.

Critical race theory is racism with a fancy hat: Black people are lazy by nature, so wishing they would be industrious is RACISM
