Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is pretty crappy as far as mayors go. Guess we shouldn’t be surprised that she’d be racist, to boot:

Mary Ann Ahern ~ (@MaryAnnAhernNBC) As ⁦@chicagosmayor⁩ reaches her two year midway point as mayor, her spokeswoman says Lightfoot is granting 1 on 1 interviews - only to Black or Brown journalists.

Paris Schutz ~ ("Chicago Tonight" WTTW) I was told the same thing.

Andy Grewal ~ Wait. What?

Is some racism more equal than others? Did we miss the memo?

Aldous Huxley's Ghost™ ~ "Only colored folks need apply."

We’ve come a long way, baby.

Andy Grewal ~ Just blows my mind that someone elected to represent the entire city would so expressly engage in racial discrimination.

If an Asian reporter wants 1-on-1 discussion to discuss hate crimes against her community, skin color bars the meeting? How is this real?

Jeff B. tried to do his best, but he could not ~ This policy is self-evidently racist and ridiculous (oh please, explain to me why it's not, I dare you); I'm actually more interested in the political calculation behind it. What does Lightfoot think she gains from this? I genuinely don't know.
