re: #83 iossarian

I don’t know enough about Orange County and its Vietnamese and Hispanic populations to comment on that specific case, but I do think it’s worth pointing out that there is a difference between a white politician disparaging black people and a black politician disparaging white people, which is the different history of oppression of one group by another.

Of course, on one level the actions are the same. But, for me, in order for there to be equality of condemnation, there has to be social/economic equality first.

That made no sense at all.
Are you trying to say that some use of pitting one ethnic group against another is okay - can be held to a different standard?
