It's about as ambiguous as whether you are a secret racist. This guy is arguing directly against out-and-out unabashed racists in the conversation. How much more anti-racist does one have to be in order to make it not "ambiguous" in your eyes?
- darkpuma 8y agoI think that particular sentence out of context is objectively ambiguous, since that particular sentence isn't qualified with some sort of arguendo disclaimer... In context, it seems much less ambiguous. There are a lot of people in this thread who are reading that comment as unambiguously racist. Maybe some of them are being intellectually dishonest, but I think at least some of them aren't. Generally speaking when multiple people read the same sentence and walk away with wildly different notions about what the speaker's intent was, that's an indication that ambiguous language is present.
