I'm trying to figure out why anyone would expect that. The response I got was that the media isn't reporting it as a hate crime. I guess, therefore, people here will excuse the criminals? Now, I'm sure you can find the definition of defend. It most definitely is not "downplays a part of a person's actions while still condemning said person."
Where is the double standard here on how it's talked about? You feign surprise that it isn't defended here, but have shown no reason to believe it would be otherwise. No one here has advocated reverse racism that I've seen. I certainly haven't seen anyone advocate for hate crimes against whites, either. This is a made up problem. It's completely fabricated. If you have so much disdain for the media, why are you employing their tactics?
To be honest maybe it should be Bella defending this instead of you accusing me of feigning surprise because it wasn't actually me who said anything along those lines.
I've elucidated my understanding of why previously, but to be frank about it, if you can't see the double standards people on this forum display, many of whom have no problem brandishing ALL Trump supporters as racists, then that's on you. What you're actually doing in your second paragraph is creating a bit of a straw man IMO. Nobody here said users have previously advocated reverse racism, or advocated hate crimes against whites. If you expect someone to argue about that good luck.

Lol. It seems when someone posts a story on one of those, everyone else just rallies behind it. No problem, no arguments.
Ah you can be racist as long as it's towards "Drumpf". Which btw, could itself be considered a somewhat racist put down as it refers to Trump's heritage.
