What actually matters is that it upsets a dictator of one of the most powerful countries of the world. And fuck that guy in particular.
Am I reading this correct, you’re saying it does not matter if it’s racist, merely that it upsets the target?

I literally open the post with “it’s not racist.” To ignore that and read the rest of the post as “I don’t care if it is racist” is either intentionally dishonest, or incredibly stupid. Regardless of whether or not you agree with my take, those are the only two options for misrepresenting my opinion as “I don’t care if it is racist,” so take your pick on which of the two you think you’re being right now.
