re: Leftist conedians and other pundits routinely say Trump looks like an orangutan

The vast majority of people had no fricking idea VJ is black.

Because they had no idea who the frick she is in the first place

Which is sort of an irrelevant fact in this conversation

If I called the black dude that works down the hall from me some antiquated racial slur it doesn't mean that there would be no repercussions for me just because you don't know who he is.

if one was unaware of Jarrett's actual ethnic background, as most Americans are, or if in fact Jarret was of Middle Eastern descent instead, would the comparison be acceptable?

---

anyone who is unaware of her “ethnic background“ has been living under a rock for the past decade, and his opinion on any political issue should be discounted immediately.

I never gave two seconds thought about her ethnic background. I never thought it important.

I couldn't have told you that her father was black. How would I know that? CNN highlight during the Obama years?

Her middle eastern background is well covered ground.

Link me to all the shite talking about her black background that would be commonly known?

quote:

She looks SE Asian to me?

---

If I had never read a story about her ME background, I would, base on pic alone.........have assumed an Asian mix of some sort.

It is ONLY because I knew of her ME background that I then just assumed Persian ancestory because if, like I have.........you've found yourself in western Afghanistan very near the Iranian border, you'd know that a lot of those folks look like they wouldn't be THAT out of place in parts of China.

For example.

These kids are of Persian descent. They are in Afghanistan. I dunno. Maybe P'man assumes that all people with non white skin and slightly full lips are black. But yeah. Using that logic, you're gonna call a LOT of non-Black people black.

I just don't care. If I took time to care about everything the left finds offensive, I wouldn't sleep at night. Besides, there is a massive double standard with stuff like this that makes the outrage ring hollow. Numerous examples have been given.

I'm of the Patrice Oneal school of comedic artistic license. I don't care about Wolf or Griffin and I don't care about this.

her ethnic background was mentioned with significant regularity during the Obama administration

Good. Then linking it should be easy.

I would expect some pretty prominent links.

Because, ya know. For it to be a given that everyone would know about it.........you can't be pulling up a few obscure references.

I'd put my familiarity with the various players in politics up there with basically anyone. I don't know everything obviously, but, no one does.

And I had no fricking idea.

On CNN? No wonder I had no idea.

Not to mention, liberals really need to get it through their heads that they're just race obsessed.

I don't look at a person in politics and think, "holy frick......that person's a shade dark.........is she a person of color cause that would be VERY important..........let me look it up!!!".
