You know that your comment history includes a link to your CV, right? Are you sure this is the type of comment you want tied to your work history and real name?

You don't have to go as far back as the Romans. The Barbary Pirates (from north Africa) took something like a million slaves from Europe over the 300 years that they terrorised European coastlines, mainly raiding the Mediterranean but

Pahaha. YES!! What a historically ignorant question. Here's a picture of an Arab man and his white slave, for starters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_slavery#/media/File:Mecc...

Imagine being so racist that you think any non-white person who holds conservative opinions has no agency and is just a pawn being used by his white masters.

Goddamn those racist Brexiteers, voting to end an immigration system that gives preferential treatment to white Europeans.

This might be somewhat of a tangent, but I'm extremely pale. I don't tan, I burn, no matter how hard I try, and I stay milky white (or turn lobster red) no matter how long I stay in the sun. I used to get teased for this consta

To those who would like to learn more, GP is referring to the Israeli disengagement from the Gaza Strip, which, to quote Wikipedia, "was the unilateral dismantling in 2005 of the 21 Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip and the evacuat

I've seen that infographic about "white culture" before (hello to my fellow New Discourses fan) and it's such a great illustration of how this movement is not only insane, but absurdly racist . They think that aspects o

Really? I'm from the UK and I find "hey guys" and "you guys" to be quite common there. Maybe it's a generational thing - I'm sure it's something we picked up from the U.S.. The idea that it's sex

I've heard people say it's racist for white people to say "y'all" too, since black people say "y'all" therefore it's cultural appropriation. Nevermind that "y'all" is common among

It's the purest of narcissism. When you say "intent doesn't matter", what you're actually saying is " you don't matter. The only thing that matters is how I feel about it". It's a manipulative

But the ever-present question is "who defines hate speech?" Most people's definition of the term seems to be "speech that I hate." This won't end well.

That's the whole point. It's a billion-dollar industry created by useless people with no real economic value. They need to inject racism and sexism and division into every situation so they can claim credit for opposing it. How el

You give them too much credit. Injecting racial division is the entire point . Critical race theorists want to divide everyone up by their immutable characteristics, discriminate on the basis of race, and make everyone as hyper-conscious

Exactly. The worst thing you can do when dealing with bullies is to give them what they're asking for. Seuss won't be the last beloved cultural icon they come for. At what point are we going to stand up to these lunatics?

The point is to taint Dr Seuss so that he's no longer acceptable as a common cultural reference point, so that ideologues can shoehorn in their own propaganda to children at the youngest possible age. Listen to the latest episode of th

There is absolute no chance that these radicals will not come for Shakespeare eventually. Their aim is to destroy the Western canon so they can replace it with their own propaganda: Shakespeare is too high-value a target for them to ignore.
