Progressing to a point where systematic oppression does not exist. Why do I gotta constantly explain things that shouldn't need to be?

You were supposed to laugh at his unfunny pun.

That wasn't a pun, but I guess it was just a terrible joke.

Might as well say it's racist to call me a Hibernian, or a native of Maynmar a Burmese.

Times have changed. You only call things oriental but not the people from that area. Just stick to Asian if you don't know the country they are from.

Somebody should dress like ICE and try to deport the KKK just to see what happens. One time my older brother spray painted KKK on our garbage can and I just told people that it was three stick figures walking and praying.

How do you feel about the Protestant Irish and/or the Catholic Irish? The group you don't identify with.

I just saw this. Just wondering was this a question to me?

You learn something new. I still don't see WHY it's considered racist. It's not a slur: it's identifying people as having come from an area by the name by which it used to be called. What's next: Asia gets renamed and you can't use the word Asian? Is it racist to call a person a Soviet now too? ****'s sake!

No, it was directed at me and I answered it.

Just as a response to Lucem thinking "SJW" or whatever (people not ok with casual racism?) don't consider Native Americans which is a load of horse**** they talk about them all the time

Because a holiday is totally bringing forth the problems they face and fixing them which are actually much harsher than any race in America right now. No, they don't, elph. Don't lie to yourself. I've known plenty of SJWs and I have never ever EVER heard any of them rant or even discuss problems natives face. Including you. Your bull**** token black guy argument right there. "See! We care about natives! We gave them a holiday in California to replace Columbus day as if these holidays weren't hollow in meaning and only really represented a day off of work if you are lucky!" How is that any different than "we got a black guy with a rebel flag! see! we aren't racist!" That one empty little gesture that accomplishes nothing other than a bunch of white liberals patting themselves on the backs for being progressive is exactly what I'm talking about.

Edit: And I'm not talking about all of them. Should be obvious.
