I suppose you'll tell me that your True PC Scotsman would never call any human beings trash, hey?  Because since Team White on average are doing pretty good, prejudice directed toward lower working-class white people is just a force for equality and justice?
No, Benny, I just mean racists, which isn't some sanitized "predicated on race"..but -antipathy- predicated on race.  Is there supposed to be some pc problem with calling trashy people trashy?  What might that be?  Do you think it's prejudiced to notice that there is a preponderance of racists among lower working class whites, or to present the origins of that racism and how it's been nurtured and exploited in order to get those same lower working class whites to vote against their interests?  Or..even deeper into leftists politics, how that exploitation makes this a class issue? 

Quote:What language, specifically?

"I don't consider myself racist, but I don't like being referred to in racist terms either?"
Yeah, sure Benny, that must be it, because in 50 pages you've never once suggested that there is an attempt to abrogate your rights.  In fifty pages you've never suggested that there is discrimination of whites.  In 50 pages you've never suggested that there is a stigmitization of whites.  In 50 pages you've never expressed a denial of pride or angst over your perceived esteem, because white.  In fifty pages, you haven't once referred to an example to demonstrate the truth of these contentions that..upon inspection, turned out to be complete and utter horseshit.

Nope, never not once, ever.   Rolleyes

Who says you can't call an asshole an asshole? If you call an asshole an asshole..though, you probably should expect a few words in return, lol.  

Quote:"I'm proud of my white heritage.  White people have achieved many great things, and it makes me feel proud to be white?  I don't like you lumping me in with every historical white asshole who ever lived?"
