The video was filled with great points and solid marketing efforts for his very popular blog, however, the discussion seemed to revolve around 3 words. It isn't that it was "offensive" to me, it is just something I would like to point out that it was an unnecessary focal point of the video. It is my opinion that the comment was not meant to be offensive, but it does further prove that words are very powerful. 3 words were able to take a video that was helpful in many different ways and turn it into a conversation piece about race. I'm sure I'm not the only one that found that interesting. Thanks Ramit for the blog. I certainly will continue reading. -Sean Hi,

You should know that I don't JUST devote my energy towards race. I spend a hell of a lot of time on equality for (oh lord... this might make you have a heart attack) women, men, gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, intersex folks, low and middle income people, people with disabilities, mothers, the elderly, and youth, to name a few. It might freak you out to know, that like almost all people of color, I have a job... more than one usually. So you can drop your Kipling act. To be direct, I don't depend on white boys except for one thing. Their equal participation and dedication to the fight for racial and social justice. And I would venture to say that plenty of white men are/have been fighting for equity and justice... some of whom read this blog. Another world is coming Mike. All you have to do is figure out how to start contributing to society in a positive way that doesn't oppress others. It will be a challenge, but it's not impossible.

I relate to Ramit because he is young and we will care about similar things (paying for college, paying for weddings, things to consider when thinking about buying your first house). I relate to Ramit because he speaks my language. He breaks down what investing and personal finance really is in a way I understand. He's not talking to other financial-type people who know everything about investing. I relate to Ramit because he brings humor and personal experience to personal finance. I relate to Ramit because he isn't condescending or intimidating. The comment was accurate. His readers come to his site because he is different from the traditional financial guy in these respects.

Hey, you might think your the voice of your generation - but you reach all age groups with your insights - I enjoyed the insights and humor. And I like being made fun of - I'm an old white dudette.
