So am I right in assuming the only hate crime you're willing to accept is a racially motivated one? Or do I read you wrong there? How about sexual orientation? How about mental or physical disabilities? How about religion?
The thing is though, that there's a clear double standard here.
Remember when we were talking about muslim refugees, and someone said those who don't want to take them in are racist? My response to that person was:
"Yeah, we shouldn't discriminate against Muslims and of course we should take them in. But let's stop calling it racism bc Muslim is not a race."
I remember you insisting that it probably is about race that some ppl dont want to take them in, and you said denying racism is doing society disservice.
Yet here's a scenario where 4 black guys beat up a white man while saying "fuck white ppl", and all of the sudden you can't tell if this was racism? All of the sudden it doesn't matter whether it was or wasn't? All of the sudden race is irrelevant?
I respect you and dont mean to pick on you. This is only one example of the type of double standard that some of us keep seeing here in general.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
