Amusing to see what Grokipedia thinks of various cities.

And no surprise, apartheid apologetics: https://grokipedia.com/page/Apartheid#debunking-prevailing-n...

Hilarious factual errors in https://grokipedia.com/page/Green_Line_(CTA)

By "apartheid apologetics" do you mean that it is factually wrong or merely that you dislike the framing? I think there is a huge difference between those two accusations.

>A prevailing narrative depicts apartheid as a system of unremitting total oppression for black South Africans, yet empirical data indicate substantial advancements in black literacy and real wages during the era.

This is a false contradiction. You can oppress people and still pay them higher wages and fight illteracy.

You're describing a very charitable scenario. You might get those outcomes while still fighting against literacy and high wages.

Since a rising tide lifts all boats, in a growing economy you might see wages, literacy and health outcomes improve nominally for an oppressed group, in absolute terms, while all of these outcomes improve significantly faster for the other group(s) in the same period.
