No way! Every liberal says that there's no such thing as racism against whites.


In fairness to the nonsense, my progressive friends have redefined "racism" to only apply to minorities, by literal definition. White people can be racist. Minorities can be prejudiced against whites, but never racist.

Kind of like what they are trying to do by redefining "fascism" to be tautologically right wing.

ETA: Like so: LINK

I love my progressive friends. Plus, anytime they become insufferable in their politics, I remind them that, as a libertarian, I'm more pro-immigration than they are and ask why they think it's ok to damn some poor brown person to a life of abject poverty, just because of the poor fortune of their birth, in order to further improve the already fabulously wealthy (by world standards) lifestyles of American blue collar workers.

Gives them fricking fits

First, I'm sorry you have regressive friends. What exactly do you have in common with them?!?! And second, I realize this may melt their sjw hearts, but it's most certainly NOT up to them to redefine words just because their real meaning triggers them. Yeah, they should really get a handle on how the world really works!

I looked it up. Warner Pacific went from 12.5% minority kids in 2007 to 40% in 2014. The last two freshman classes at Warner Pacific (2015 and 2016) have been over 50% minorities. Are they getting tax dollars for this?



Trading the quality of their education for tax dollars. You can guarantee they had to dumb down the curriculum. Unless the majority of those minorities were Asian.

Quite a bit. Contrary to what our little echo chamber on this board might make one think, talking politics constitutes a very small percentage of the average person's daily activity

I agree with you. In the rare instance we do talk politics, I've taken them to task over redefining both racism (in the last few years) and fascism (quite recently).

13%


Neither of you are close. This is Portland. It's the Blazers off-season, so the percentage of blacks is down, temporarily.

The story was on the news last night. The father of a white girl is kissed because her 2 best frlends went, but she couldn't go. He may file suit.

Honestly, the local media isn't going to pick this up. The national media needs to do it.

The weight of that comment isn't lost on anyone, regardless of their generation. History, lessons learned.

What's your point? Justification?


None, but if you weren't here then you missed being called the same thing back then, whether you were racists or not and finally

simply how the more things change the more they stay the same, only the names change to protect the innocent

Funny thing is, Asians and Indians were allowed to go on the field trip and they are dominating the academic scene in the Portland area.

In other areas of the country, as you go out to the suburbs, you get a larger white population. In Portland, the biggest minorities are Asian and Indian, and you see MORE of them out in the suburbs than in the city, because they are higher achievers and can afford to live in the more expensive neighborhoods.
