So if you are far-right, but only to brown people, you aren't far-right? This seems so obviously racist I can't believe you can argue for that position in good faith.

> So if you are far-right, but only to brown people You can't be "far-right" to someone. It isn't a verb. And if someone only takes far right positions on the topic of brown people they aren't far right - they are something complicated that needs more description.

  > You can't be "far-right" to someone. It isn't a verb. i think you're willfully misinterpreting here to try to somehow discredit them or 'get' them, without actually offering any meaningful counterarguments. it's easy to understand what that person means. > if someone only takes far right positions on the topic of brown people they aren't far right - they are something complicated that needs more description. please would you elaborate? i haven't seen that before.

    > please would you elaborate To figure out what political philosophy we'd need to know about their other, non-far-right-wing, views. By definition and context, their other views are either mild right wing, neutral or left wing. We'd need to have specific information to classify them. It is impossible with only one, context specific and relatively common, view. > i think you're willfully misinterpreting here to try... Given I'm literally correct, a safer assumption is that I'm the sort of person who cares about being literally correct? Far-right isn't a verb. And racism against brown people is an extremely common thing across the political spectrum; it isn't enough to characterise someone as far right.

  It's fundamentally impossible to be both racist and not right wing so I'll just have to assume you're a troll.
