Personally, I think "X people are Y characteristic" is racist whether X is Black, White, Asian, Jewish, American Indian or anything else, and whether Y is good

Personally, I think "X people are Y characteristic" is racist whether X is Black, White, Asian, Jewish, American Indian or anything else, and whether Y is good or bad. The definition should be symmetric.
- pstuart 6y agoLet me try again: I'm calling out practitioners of racism, that those people suck. Would you care to disagree? That is the context and the intent, so if you're interpreting it as hate for all white people then you're sadly mistaken.
- DuskStar 6y agoWell, you were replying to this comment: > "white people suck" is a cut and dried racist comment, regardless of context. With something that seemed like "no, I don't think 'white people suck' is racist". Bashing white supremacists is great! But bashing an entire race isn't.
- pstuart 6y agoI know that reading comprehension is hard, but I believe in you! Someday, you'll be able to understand the words in the context they were written.
- DuskStar 6y agoAnd I hope you eventually learn that racism in response to racism is still racism, even if it is in support of a good cause.
- pstuart 6y agoWhat I've learned is that HN has its share of racist trolls, such as yourself.
- pstuart 6y agoApology to HN for the troll comment. I don't know how to respond to people who intentionally distort my words. Misreading is one thing, but flat out telling me that their misinterpretation of my intentions trumps mine is unacceptable.
