re: #124 RogueOne

Your trying too hard. When they called him a scholarly law professor it was a dog whistle. When they call him an athlete, it’s a dog whistle. What is it that they’re allowed to make fun of him for that the left will not consider racist? It’s demeaning the word, crying wolf all the time just makes people roll their eyes.

When you criticise a black person using a stereotype that’s used to denigrate blacks, then yes, that’s racist. (And in a world where “The Bell Curve” was hailed as “brave”, reducing a black person who has achieved so much in so many fields to simply an “athlete” fits that bill.) Racisim comes in many guises, and it’s all “real” racism. And no, we’re not going to let others define what racism is, or have dictated to us what we “should” be offended by.
