Ehh except it is something people say and when pointed at children is a cheeky acknowledgement of how children are completely unreasonable sometimes.
It's very common to refer to children (most often toddlers) as terrorists. Ive seen it countless times in mom groups and it never has any hate behind it.
Elon is a Nazi because he does Nazi salutes and courts favor with Nazis, and reposts nazi propaganda, calling it true. It's not comparable.
When conservatives say we have "woke mind virus" this thread is exactly what they are talking about. It's embarrassing watching something so trivial get blown into some hateful act.
You've been infected by racism towards Mexico without even noticing. The migrant workers aren't all at risk of starvation or being murdered. There's just a better opportunity in the US. It's just a better life, not often so dire as you are making it out to be.
People make moves all the time for opportunity. Nothing special here. It's not the hellscape you are imagining for these millions of people.
Oh then read the Wikipedia page you referenced. It actually gives examples supporting my statement.
And once again, I am not saying it isn't racist today or that people weren't racist back then or that the word is OK today or any of the other weird things people keep acting like I said.
I lost my patience with people being willfully ignorant a while ago. I just thought it was an interesting moment in time to see how language evolved. Not terribly dissimilar to many other terms people used to use that later morphed into slurs.
I'm not either. But there's a difference between isn't and wasn't. But again, you don't care. I'm still not defending racism or racists or racists using the term as a slur later. Ive been super clear. I was just providing historical context.
Historically, this is an indicator that Mike DeWine is himself involved in some degenerate acts that he's ashamed of, and doesn't want anyone to be able to talk about. Keep an eye out for any "protect the children" rhetoric from this one. ¤.¤
I just disagree. We are equally dense at worst. I've already expressed people were racist and had slurs that they used. Im not ignoring that or unaware of it or trying to gloss over that. This just wasn't one of them for a long stretch of time.
You won't believe it because you just don't believe it. That's you being dense. You refuse to accept the reality I've witnessed. Terms weren't used with equal intent globally throughout history. How a term was used in Caldwell Idaho in 1930 is not how it was used in Pennsylvania at the same time, despite them both being America and the people involved all being American.
I think anywhere we still use butter is still great. It's where we replaced it with the "various hydrogenated oils of mysterious origin" that we lost our way. Once we could no longer believe it wasn't butter, we lost the plot.
Naw, it was most commonly used as a term similar to "that chinese guy" which is easy to confuse with racism at a time period where people were generally racist towards the chinese, but the term itself is not racist. There were actual slurs back then they could use if they were about that.
My Grandmother said they always bought they're vegetables growing up from the chinaman who rolled his cart through the alleyway behind their homes. It's not a term of hate, but it's easy to say hateful things alongside it.
Why do people.keep saying this? It's obviously not fine.
These guys get dragged in front of Congress all the time. The US has the right to take measures against a business they feel they can't control, doing things they consider detrimental to it's people. Ideally that would occur in a more balanced method than now, and it would be nice if Nazi's weren't also American citizens with 1st amendment rights, but here we are.
There are many Chinese based companies that do business on American soil with no issues. This isn't even really Chinese based, but has a major Chinese stakeholder. For some reason, this company, over many others, was believed to be a threat. It may not be the weird racism you're being led to believe. What if it actually is a very credible threat from an outside actor? Is there a world where that's possible and acceptable to you?
Just curious because I feel like there's some strange zeoltry for TikTok that I haven't seen so much with other media corporations lately, that aren't actively pumping out propaganda. FOX News being the obvious example.
How someone thinks of America and not France when thinking of butter is beyond me. I just assume they're unfamiliar with their respective culinary achievments.
Literally never heard of them. With all the random bullshit companies dumping crap into the market, if you don't have good name recognition these days, it's just assumed you are some random Chinese product clone with dubious quality.
This is fine when I purchased my knockoff Dyson vacuum that still works great, but I wouldn't trust all my data to a company I dont recognize.
