Exactly. Racists will generally justify themselves as "not racist" by giving claiming something to the tune of "I'm not prejudiced, I just agree with the numbers!", while appealing…

That sounds suspiciously like the behavior you see out of white supremacists from poor households: the mere "name of the caste" is sufficient to impart a sense of superiority.

There is a dire need for some less-metaphorical terminology here, I think.

Yeah, given the sorts of comments that gain traction around here, I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not.

While I admire the resourcefulness of the people who invented these sorts of foods, they aren't really the sort of thing most people like to eat when given alternatives, I think.

No, but when you have a cookbook or magazine, you also have things like photos of what the finished product looks like, so that you can a) tell if it looks like something you'd enj…

Yeah, I've really never been impressed with the quality of any prfab house I've toured. Especially looking at any built at least 20 years ago, they just seem so cheap compared to a…

Are you actually comparing literal murder by religious extremists to "big corporation doesn't want to sell these racist caricatures"?

You're drawing a distinction between the "4chan neckbeards" and the "alt-right edgelords" that I don't think meaningfully exists. ("Any community that gets its laughs by pretending…

And who, exactly, is "imposing restrictions" on you? Ebay? It sounds like a more honest analogy would be that you have gone to a "woke only" bookstore and are whining that you don'…

No, it doesn't. "Freedom to" rob does not supersede "freedom from" robbery. "Freedom to" kill does not supersede "freedom from" death. This is an asinine and juvenile view of how r…

Not really sure why it would need to; I was just pointing out that claiming what "a substantial majority" of people think ought to have something backing it up, especially since it…

No, the college was enamored. The confederacy theme was omnipresent; this was just an exceptional case of the mask of respectability slipping off.

Considering that the actual topic here is discussing "what you call a person ", I don't think this comparison is fair. How justified "I feel offended because I can't call someone a…

You mean like being outraged that people are outraged?

Counterpoint: I graduated from a university still named after the confederacy that held "slave auction" fundraisers all the way into the 80s. I think it's easy to downplay how perv…

Keep in mind that Seuss's early career involved drawing racist WWII propaganda. While he largely reformed in later years, it would be inaccurate to say that some of the content has…

> A substantial majority of people consider this foolish [citation needed]. While ebay banning them may be a bit much, I don't know anyone IRL who is upset that Dr. Seuss's B-list …
