What if the statements are made in opposition to a racist viewpoint? I consider that welcome. And again, “illegal aliens” isn’t a racist term - doubly so if you’re quoting someone else saying it. I did defend the OP against the racism accusation and I am not sure if I was right, but I said nothing racist myself. As proof, I’ll point out again that you initially attacked me for something I didn’t say.

So we can add “poor memory” and (worse) and “uses terms like Nazi and fascist so cheaply that he can’t remember if he’s said them or not” to your list of mental shortcomings:

Dear Stupid, please explain how it’s possible for me to have meant post 10 seriously when I’m an atheist.
