The article discusses the idea that identifying as a "Bitcoiner" could potentially help reduce racism. The author refers to research by Harvard professor Robert Putnam which shows that diversity can lead to distrust between different ethnic and racial groups. However, the research also suggests that when people find something in common beyond race or ethnicity, diversity can become a strength. The author argues that being a Bitcoiner creates a bond and trust among individuals who share common values and goals, and this could help reduce racism. While it is acknowledged that not all Bitcoiners may be free from racist inclinations, the article suggests that the association can still have a positive impact on reducing racism.
