You made your point well. He’s just being contrarian.

It’s a simple logic. If serious blatant acts of racism still happened, there’d be no need to latch onto fake graffiti and anonymous poop swastikas.

This is absurd and not logical.

You can't criticize the news for pumping up fake stories then say "well racism doesn't exist because the news doesn't show it!"

Yes those stories we're fake
Yes the news ran with them, possibly with some agenda, most likely because it gets clicks and views.
No that doesn't mean real racism doesn't exist

Like I said earlier in the thread, I witnessed just last week a black guy repeatedly call an Indian guy a Patel because he pissed him off. Kept saying "all you Patels are all the same."

I had a buyer tell me he wasn't going to buy from another rep because he was black and another was Mexican. I just said that's nice and upsold him my product.

Should I have gone to the news or are those not big enough to be considered racism?

It’s most definitely a slur. Not that I care. Because words should be available for all to use.

It is meant as a derogatory term.



Link?

I love the OT. This jackass can say 98% of slurs come from whites and his response to back up that claim is "name 10 white slurs." Someone else says something is derogatory in response and he wants a link.

Classic OT.

Very true. Racism still exists. Unfortunately, there is an inequity in the mainstream definition of racism as well as the application of the definition.

FIFY

This has happened this me while waiting to board 1st/biz class and I’m white as a ghost. I usually dress pretty relaxed when I fly and people like this will just push past you thinking you are beneath them. While it may be about race with this incident, most times it’s about elitists.
