Comment on The wording of racists

Brother, please, proof read your posts before pasting a wall of text.
Second - I generally agree racist terminology is infuriating but what I find way more infuriating is how some people don’t think it’s racist. I still see clips of Fox anchors & other conservative spokes people refer to “Dirty rats”, “Illegal aliens”, or even just “terrorists” when discussing someone who overstayed their visa. Which is hateful and racist, but what feels underhand is their belief that it isn’t racist or hateful. You don’t call someone a “dirty rat” or an “criminal alien” if you’re discussing a factual matter objectively.

Yeah you’re right, when I’m in the loop I just don’t think many about what I’ve spoken. The fact with the Banana was just a statement to make my words feel stronger and I know myself, that that says absolutely nothing. And especially Rowlings’ works are disgraceful. My mom always was called blasphemeous for saying that the Bible was the first form of Mass media manipulation, yet she still believed in a god.
