I put PJ on ignore this time. That way if they reappear again after a few years, this time I won’t forget who they are and treat them as if they were a real rational human being worthy of respect. ---

We agree with Miller that the view expressed by split\_p\_j , namely that anyone who becomes drunk thereby consents to rape, is indefensible and repugnant. We’re also obliged to say that (a) it isn’t against our rules as currently stated, but (b) it should be.

Awesome. Thank you. I was reading the thread last night and managed to skip ahead I don’t know how many posts. I’m embarrassed to admit that I was too lazy to try and find where I was when my crappy chromebook skipped forward. I really like t hat rule and apologize for not keeping proper track (especially since that is something split\_p\_j is getting pitted for.) My concerns are duly addressed. ---

Why is there no pitting of this post [from politics and elections](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/like-a-bull-in-a-china-shop-chinas-future-is-broken/987900/13)? It’s bringing up the same racial issues I was, but on a different topic. I of course agree with this poster take on racial issues, but I do not give the US a pass as the poster is trying to do. That said, I notice he is not being attacked as I was. ---

> [@split\_p\_j](#): > > That said, I notice he is not being attacked as I was. No because they’re not a racist. It’s one thing to say a country has a culture of racism, and give examples of it and the consequences. It’s completely different to say that an **ethnicity** is racist, and then not back it up with anything. Also, it helps to not be an insane rape apologist conspiracy theorist truther who denies science and experts in general on a web site based around fighting ignorance. ---

I never denied science in either topic and gave tons of cites in my 9/11 posts. Your other point about country VS ethnicity is meaningless for the US, and I’m sure you know that. The US is, and always has been a racist white ethnic state, with the definition of who is and who is not “white” constantly changing. So yes, I can say that the white **ethnicity** in the US is perceived as racist in general, which is what I said and is a totally valid statement. Same as this poster said about countries. ---

Why would I pit someone that is saying what I said? He said the countries of Japan, India and China are perceived as racist generally. Countries are made up of people, so if the country is perceived that way it’s a good bet it’s because the people are that way. He got a pass for that. I said the same thing about the US and was attacked. I said the descendants of US chattel slavery perceive all white people as racist. He is saying the whole world sees the countries, and therefore the people in them, he named as racist, and not a peep from you. As seen to be racist. ---

It’s not about you, it’s not an insult on you, and in fact I never said all white people are racist. Why can that poster say whole countries are perceived as racist and get no pushback. But I say descendants of US chattel slavery perceive white people in the US as racists and get pitted. I’m saying the same thing as that poster. ---
