Colombian President Claims Cocaine is Illegal Because Racism or Something

Cries of racism are the lazy person's catch-all excuse for everything that is wrong with their life or what they don't like. For example, the president of Colombia is miffed that his country's chief export isn't welcome everywhere in the world

Cocaine "is no worse than whiskey" and is only illegal because it comes from Latin America, said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whose nation is the world's biggest cocaine producer and exporter. https://t.co/eeOHBPcXP0

It's not that cocaine is highly addictive, destructive and gave rise to some very dangerous cartels, no, it's anti-Latinx racism. You could be forgiven for thinking that President Gustavo is a university professor given his keen insight.
