    It just says that a white person who is racist is very cliche typical American

    If you sub white for Jewish, racist for greedy, and American for Israeli?

    Like, I’m not here to defend white people. I genuinely don’t care. Just your argument is presented as the comments structure is what intrinsically makes it not racist, and I don’t know if it’s the case. I think it’s still just a punching up thing. I think you can re-use the structure and be pretty problematic.

      Here we go again 🙄

      Both obvious lies.

      Yeah, because changing words changes meaning. Context matters.

      That doesn’t mean that it’s racist to call out white racists, any more than it’s antisemitic to criticize the genocidal apartheid regime in charge of Israel or sexist to criticize the unhinged congresswoman from Georgia, Perjury Greene.

      The statement “kissing my lovely wife”, but we’re switching out “wife” with “dog’s butthole”.

      Thank God. I don’t think any of them want your help.
