Of course it would be the same, but whether he would have had those thoughts towards those groups is something to ponder about.
And it doesn't matter whether he also consider height and such, it was still a racist attitude. And that's assuming he wasn't lying here to save face.
Quote:If we can't even talk openly about racist/prejudice thoughts, there's no point in ever expecting any kind of progress in race relations.
Progress in race relations means not only being open about our racist thoughts but rather also about realizing that these racist attitudes really do hurt people and isn't just about ones struggles with one's condition.

Don't be such a sensitive snowflake. If it's so hard to be real and honest about what's being discussed in this conversation, then go play a relaxing video game instead.
Quote:Also, there are plenty of people of color speaking up in defense of Neeson, yet sheltered white PC leftists want to crucify the guy, mostly because they want to virtue signal and show everyone how outraged they are.
Lol, gotta love the "a few black people agree with me" argument. It shows just how lacking in insight you are.
