  Maybe I need a bit more coffee, but I read this as “Although I think I’m feeling like this, I don’t like it, as it makes me feel a bit racist”.

  Present an argument to support your accusation.

    I feel justified but I also feel a bit racist. by Plesiohedron @lemmy.cafe

      That isn’t an argument.

        There’s no argument to be had, obviously.

    Well, your own banned comment said you admit you feel “a bit” racist, so I know you are not asking me to present an argument that you’re racist.

    Are you… asking me to present an argument that racism is wrong?

      That isn’t an argument.

        It needn’t be one.

    Here’s an argument if ur gonna make distinctions bases upon race ur racist. Thus race based dei is racist. If race based dei isn’t racist then negative comments based upon race also aren’t racist. To have one without the other is simply doublethink.

      It’s kind of amazing to see the mental gymnastics racists do to compare racism to DEI. The human brain works in some truly mysterious ways.

        Please explain how dei giving handouts based upon race isn’t racist?

      No. That’s stupid. Very, very stupid. How are races defined without specifying differences between races?

      What makes something racist is unfounded critique of races, not simply references races.

      DISCLAIMER: I do not mean this in the context of OP’s digging at Indians. Without some heavy qualifications that go far beyond anecdote, it’s kinda’ a racist statement…

        So if the critique is founded then its not racist? U can find a lot of statistics that are true and would get you called an extreme racist if u said em.

        For example is it racist to say that Arabs are more inbred? europepmc.org/article/MED/19811666

        By your logic its also not racist to say that black people in america commit a disproportionate amount of crime crimeresearch.org/…/violent-crime-rates-by-race/

        These claims are founded in science and fact so therefore not racist right?

      An argument goes : “it’s racist because…”

      • muntedcrocodile@hilariouschaos.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Making distinctions/different rules/different judgements bases upon race and not the content of ones character is racist.
