This is Ian virtue signaling. And doing a shitty job at it. While reading, this paragraph struck me as not only out of place but also laregly out of touch. And pissed me off quite a bit. So before I tackle the issue, shame on you Ian... Rather than throwing out platitudes about a largely presumed privilege based on…

I will say, the “As with many hobbies, the upper echelons of skateboarding have long been dominated by white dudes who have the privilege of rarely coming face-to-face with obstacles based on their identity.” Shows that you don’t know much about the Skate scene and Tony Hawks work to make it a more inclusive hobby.....

That’s what kills me about people writing “articles” like this. What business is it of theirs how much someone chooses to give away, or who they give it to? No one made Bezos give that money away, so no matter if it was $1 or $2,000,000,000, it’s up to him to decide if and how he wants to use his money.

So he would have been better off keeping the $2 billion and doing nothing with it?  I mean there are plenty of appropriate grievances to be aired towards Bezos.  Be better Hamno.  This is fucking weaksauce.
