“I’m sick and tired of being called a racist when I’m actually a closed-minded hyperpartisan bigot who uses ethnic slurs!”
You do realize that the entire concept of humans and “race” is a bullshit idea produced out of bigotry?
You aren’t really helping your argument here at all
The effects of racism are very real, but the concept is false.
Hey Skywatcher, get out of the mud. The pigs will just keep changing the debate and you’ll just keep getting muddy. They’re racist troglodytes who are jerking chains just to see you dance. Pointing, laughing, and throwing shit is the better response.
Hey, I’m not the one who brought in definitions.
Yes, this is a weird hill to choose to die on. “Wetback” is a slur aimed at Mexicans specifically, according to lots of dictionaries. Arguing whether it’s a racist slur or an ethnic slur is bizarre, arguing that it only applies to people who have literally swum the Rio Grande is to ignore common practice, and using it at all may or may not make one a “racist” but it certainly makes one an “asshole”.
Which brings us back on topic: “Trump” isn’t making kids into racist scumbags. Racist scumbags made Trump what he is, and they’re also making kids just like them. If Clothahump isn’t racist, he’s certainly racist-adjacent.
I’m stealing this. Just so you know
Maybe, but watching them twist their logic into pretzels while they perform their mental gymnastics is rather fun.

I would recommend against that.

You wound me. I’m not a conservative.
I am offended as i consider myself to be a New England/ William F. Buckley Conservative.
Not that this has any relation to how the Republican party has behaved in the past 30 years

The problem you got here, Clothahump, is that you’ve previously admitted to trolling on this precise point, and were suspended for it.
So, this is a warning for trolling. Again. We’ll be discussing your posting privileges in the mod loop.

Then what are you? Libertarian?
Yes, of course. Though I register as independent because the official Libertarian Party is a bit too extreme for me.
I’m not one of the big names in conservative Dopers, but I am one, and I’ll chime in. This is nonsense. Racial slurs are often based on things that have nothing to specifically do with the people being targeted with said slurs: “spear chucker” could describe any decathlete, but it’s never used to describe anyone but a very specific race. The only reason someone would try to defend some sort of corner case interpretation of something like this is in order to cover up their own racism, or to rile people up while maintaining [not-actually-]plausible deniability.
A friend in rural Pennsylvania, back in September 2016, posted this along with a picture of her olive skinned 7 year old granddaughter (of Italian heritage).
Semi-flounce, conservative martyr… all in all, one of your better efforts. An enthusiastic D plus!
The irony, it burns.
Good riddance to an awful human being.
Oh dear.
Welp…who wants pie?
