Child poverty is not a result of racism. Child poverty is a result of people choosing to have children that they cannot support. They choose to do this with the foreknowledge that society will not provide for those children. At least, not enough to life them out of poverty.
People need to stop blaming everything on racism, and calling lots of things racist that simply are not. Conflating the issues hurts on all fronts.
In other words, it makes it harder to identify and solve the real problem, and it makes "racism" meaningless in the public dialog.
I didn't stigmatize poor people. If you consider stating facts of reality to be stigmatization, you are fighting reality, and that is no way to deal with it.

One of the main point of the article is precisely that being poor is not bad luck: overall, it happens because a person didn't take education seriously because they were not taught to do so by their parents.
I mean, you can say it's bad luck to be born to such parents, and I would agree there.
