Boru and Helios' best evidence for me being a racist is that I adopted one of your positions. You and I respecting other people's identities is bad because... I don't know. Boru and Helios haven't quite explained that part just yet, but I'm sure they're getting to it.
And before you respond by telling me to stop playing victim or something, I have a right to respond to the BS that Boru posted, and Boru is the one that took the Trump thread off topic and should know better. And I think you hate white people because you do, so let's get past that talking point. You endorsed a video of someone saying they don't like white people because we "smell funky". Mask off.
I happily admit to moving off topic for the express purpose of pointing out that ‘…as white as anyone else’ is a racist statement.
If you don’t want to be called a racist, maybe you shouldn’t say racist things.

How are latinos not as white as anyone else? Provide evidence to back up your position. You know this is an atheist forum, right, and people used to be expected to provide evidence to back up their accusations, especially ones as serious as this. The Grand Nudger is the one that schooled me on this, got me to concede and switched me over to his position on white latinos being as white as anyone else. You want to explain it to him, Nudge? You can probably do a better job of it. Wasn't it somewhere around 50 % of American hispanics that identify as white, and over 90 % of American Jews that identify as white? Therefore, don't you reckon that it's Boru that's actually pushing out a racist statement here by saying that he refuses to accept the chosen identity of hispanic-Americans, and he denies that it's perfectly reasonable to say that they have an as legitimate as anyone else claim to being called white like they want to be?
Boru, it's time for you to accept that you were wrong, stop taking threads off topic while whining about me posting legitimate major news in a news thread, and accept that the Zeitgeist has changed and you just didn't notice it, and you just don't understand race as well as you thought you did, so it might make sense to go and do a little research to better your faulty understanding of race. There are millions of white latinos, and their identities are as legitimate as anyone elses. Time to move on and get back to Trump, as this is a Trump thread.
