one of the more quietly racist things I've read lately, congrats
There is only a racial implication if you look deep into it or your brain is wired to see everything as racist.
Thank you for being the adult in the room :)
if u need to look deep into it to see it then ur the problem
Or maybe if you see racism everywhere, you're the problem.
A big part of the problem that the average person has in relation to race is that they constantly need to be aware of it as to not offend someone who looks to deep into it, and usually isn't even part of the race that's supposedly offended. This constant awareness tends of lead to people forming actual opinions about race.
If your opinion is that jews should not be criticized because they happen to be jews, and you say that as a deflection from the actual argument, you now created someone who has more dislike towards jews because their race is used as a shield from criticism.
And just to clarify, both perspective are stupid, but if you look at how right wing racists think, this is a big part of it.
or maybe I see racism where it exists
where did I say that
I have to assume the essence of my point still stands without clarification.
no essence where u built it on lies but that didnt stop u before, I'm sure it won't stop u now
I'd love to hear your reasoning for that.
