Senator Larry Taylor Remarks

During a hearing of the Joint Legislative Committee on Windstorm Insurance, Texas state representative Larry Taylor had harsh words for insurance companies that didn't pay the claims of disaster victims in a timely manner. "Your job is to pay the client...don't nitpick. Don't try to Jew them down".

HOW DOES THIS CONNECT TO STRUCTURAL RACISM?:

Racialized language and stereotypes that are normalized in everyday conversations perpetutate racial biases and can led to actual forms of discrimination and violence.
