It is "discrimination" to be suspicious of state actors? Was Snowden performing discrimination in exposing the NSA's spying?

  Did you reply to the correct person? I never said anything about discrimination, nor did the person I was replying to.

    Prejudice and discrimination are close enough to synonyms. You shouldn't be confused by the word swap.

      ...But neither of us said Prejudice either!

        "It's the popular thing to assume these days. It's also very insulting to Russian people in my opinion. But I guess it's ok to be prejudice towards some group of people but not others." Is that not the comment you were calling correct? That's what "the person [you] replied to" was talking about, that use of the word prejudice.

        This is a discussion about the Russian government, it doesn't really have much to do with Russian people in general. That is what the person I replied to actually said, and the comment I was clearly referring to; the point being of course, that a discussion of the Russian government has no more to do with the Russian people than the Russian government does.

        Two points then: 1. When you made https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14069152 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14069152 you may have thought it "clearly" referred to the sentence by burkaman, but multiple people thought you were refuting burkaman and referring to snowpanda's comment. 2. Even though you were referring to burkaman's comment, he was directly talking about the sentence that used the word prejudice, and arguing that it was not prejudice. Your claim in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14069723 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14069723 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14071992 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14071992 that burkaman was not saying anything about prejudice is untrue. He was directly refuting a claim of prejudice.
