All I could think was: Aliens don't wear hats on Tuesdays because Tuna Helper is in Retrograde

The irony of them making a racial and gendered generalization on swimming skills lmao.

It's always bothered me when people will blame a phenomenon and call it racist, when the systematic racism lies in our society and its response to the phenomenon. Climate change isn't consciously choosing to target minorities, but societies are choosing not to support the minority groups disproportionately affected by it.

I'd bet a dollar it was a comment on the disparate impact of climate change on women and people of color, using Bangladeshi women being statistically less likely to know how to swim as an example. But sure, climate change is racist because Bangladeshi women can't swim, that's a much more juicy soundbite.

At a public awareness March in my country a speaker claimed COVID was racist because it disproportionately killed indigenous peoples.

You could argue that is correlation, where the cause was actually being unvaccinated. This was an antivax march, so obviously it was the government's fault, not being unvaccinated.
