How unfortunate as well that his historical education has been so poor as to have completely ignored all same-race repression as well as all nonwhite repression of other nonwhite groups.

That is the reason he does not know “gwai lo” is Japanese, and comes from a culture known throughout China, the Phillipines, the Koreas, and other locations in Asia for their long history of “cultural sensitivity” and lack of savage oppression of other Asian peoples.

Or, rather, the exact opposite of that.

Perspective. It does one good, but only provided one has not already blinded oneself.

But what do I know about cultural oppression? I’m only Scots/Irish/Polish/Iroquois.

And when it does flare up we have to snuff it out immediately and without equivocation.

Unfortunately you run into that nasty thing about how people are actually free to say what they like and generally associate, or not associate, with whomever they wish. I mean, if you’re advocating that people shouldn’t be allowed to say things that hurt your feelings, just go ahead and admit that instead. It’s a lot less thuggish than saying that a group of people should have their opinions “snuff(ed) out immediately and without equivocation.”

Personally, I think the Gates situation involved class as much as it involved race.

Yes, but “wealthy man pissed about being inconvenienced by police” doesn’t get you invited for a brew at the White House.

Who were historically enslaved and oppressed by the Black, Asian and Hispanic…

Wait.

Don’t you know that when they say “racism,” what they mean is “white racism,” because it’s physically impossible for other races to be racist towards anyone, especially whites?

The words “cracker” “gringo” “ferungi” and “gwai lo” do not actually exist, and were clearly invented by evil Republican linguists.

…Still waiting for you to call out the racist officers who called Crowley’s partner an Uncle Tom.

(Note that I am an atheist, and in all seriousness think that claims of bigotry against conservative, evangelical Christians are bs. They do not though, and I am just using their same “logic” against them.)

The election EXPOSED all the racism still muttering to itself in the dark corners of the conservative world.

Maybe he’s been watching too much Colbert Report and actually believing what Colbert says.
