Push it a little bit harder and you are going to argue minimum wage is a stalinian horror.

When you have no skills, you need to compete on price, that's just a fact of life. Preventing people from competing on price will keep them poor and unemployed. When this is done on purpose to racial minorities, it's called racism.
Since you like funky logic and straw man arguments I'll just point out that even people or business with skills have to compete on price therefore the rest of your rambling is moot.
(And I have been living my whole life in Western continental Europe so I don't see what the US segregation has to do with me being a racist because I support minimal wage)
Now explain to me how you went from minimal wages promoting racism to minimal wages promoting religion-based hatred ?
If you believe they don't have job because of minimal wages then maybe you ought to advice them to seek asylum in countries without minimal wages laws instead of trying to change them ?
The sad thing is you'd rather have everyone burning than considering the possibility that strike breaking and workforce dumping hurt everyone in the long term.
When an employer chooses a white man over a black/brown/fuschia man even though the wage it's the same then it's not the law that is racist. It's the employer.
Yes, but where there is no minimum wage, the racist employer has to pay a price for being racist because people of color are selling cheaper labor than white people, so if racist employer wants to hire white people only he will have to pay a higher price. With minimum wage laws, racist employers don't pay a price for being racist because whites get the same minimum wage, this is why it encourages racism.
