We missed this from over the weekend, but more than 48-hours later, this take from Vox’s Ezra Klein is still piping-hot:
One of the biggest problems the world is facing: rapid population growth in Africa. @BillGates explains why — and what it will take to turn it around — on Monday’s episode of the #EzraKleinShow. Subscribe on @ApplePodcasts to listen: https://t.co/VBpYRlVEDq pic.twitter.com/IV1ydTGWU6

File this one under: “What Could Possibly Go Wrong?”
The tweet has disappeared, but we grabbed the screenshot so you could get the full effect.

Well, that’s certainly possible. A more likely explanation is that Vox is a haven for benevolent racists.
TFW they start talking about doing population control in Africa.

Ermmmm……? You really brainstorming eugenics? That it?

Terrible? Yes. Inevitable? Also yes.
We Need Fewer Africans is the Vox take I never expected but should have https://t.co/6UDFD18odS
— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) October 15, 2018
You really should have.
Well this is uncomfortably racist.
Do better.

I'm sure Africans are grateful that Bill Gates and Ezra Klein are deeply interested in stopping them from having children and passing their genetic heritage on to future generations.

Funny when rich white guys decide the REAL problem is too many brown people
