First, calm down. Deep breaths. Second, your definition is the textbook definition but it's not the colloquial definition. That was my point.

- anonym29 3y agoThere are circumstances where colloquialisms are appropriate, like using "y'all" instead of "you all". There are circumstances where colloquialisms are inappropriate, like a caucasian person repeating a racial slur in a song that was originally sung by a person of color. Equating literal genocide with immigration policy preferences, however despicable they may be, leans heavily towards the latter. I have ancestors who were victims of systematic genocide at the hands of Nazis. Let me know when the Republicans start gassing people and throwing them in ovens, I'll be the first one to call them Nazis and exercise force to defend the innocent. Until that happens, respectfully, please stop doing the antisemitic equivalent of shouting the N word in public and insisting that it's okay to do so on the basis that you're only citing other people's words. It's hurtful, but more importantly than that, as Anthony-G pointed out, it's dangerous. It's like crying wolf, only, instead of the threat being a wolf, it's an entire industrialized society engaged in organized genocide.
