Honestly I don't get it, why something like this is allowed to say. Sounds kind of spreading hate. Especially, I would bet the statement is false.

Which part is false?

Wrong way, which part supported the claim it was true?

GP can't prove a negative. It's on the journalist to source their assertions.

I agree it's on the journalist -- just wondering which statement is most suspected to be untrue.

We don't know the skin colors of all the crypto enthusiasts that got in early.

I personally know a few dozen people who used it in Brazil, Portugal, Japan, and India early on.

I'd say I know more non-whites than whites who used it.

That's just an anecdote, but it's more information than the racist journalist had.
