Storm didn't start the one with "jew" in the title, tho. So if that one is fine, then this one should be fine.
When you admit the righthand side of the fence has left the most marks on your butt, you get to call anyone else out.
Sure, ya do. Even when you have to strain harder than a constipated gorilla that's been force-fed strong cheese for a month to find SOME way in which the Dems have been just as naughty as the Republicans.
I mean, there's probably a baseline level of contempt for all, but the absurd and illogical levels of contempt and mistrust he holds for certain groups makes that baseline mostly irrelevant.
It's tricky. Plenty of racists will tell you "Islam isn't a race," but whenever the word "Muslims" come up in conversation it's almost always assumed that we're talking about Arab and Persian Muslims, maybe rarely African Muslims. (No one is harassing Dave Chappelle over 9/11, for example.) I personally still experience a brief "wtf" moment whenever I see a Malaysian Muslim in a hijab. Similarly "Jewish" is technically supposed to refer to a religion and not a race or ethnicity, but in practice we know that's not the case. If I tell the average person "Imagine a Jewish guy," they're almost certainly picturing someone that looks more like Jon Stewart or Jerry Seinfeld, not an African or Asian.
Self awareness would also involve the fact that a whole bunch of people pointed out that by making a thread with such a title the OP was making themself look like a giant ass regardless of intent?
Bigots being unable to understand intersectionality ain't our problem Non-white Jews exist, as do non-Arabic looking Muslims.
Okay, so do we all owe Dinner an apology for calling him a racist because of his anti-muslim rants? Do we owe Dinner a second apology since Wikipedia says "wetback" is a term used against foreign nationals residing in America in general and not just Mexicans? I don't think Tuckerfan intended anything racist with his thread title, but I also think that non-racists should take into account how how racists apply certain terms before using those terms themselves.
What should it be changed to, and should that also apply to the other threads with titles attacking religions?
I could live with an "Every organized religion sucks ass" megathread. Throw them all together, let them compete.
