Companies Engage In Orgy Of Virtue Signaling

[Tsing Tao]

If I believed the guy were even a "moderate leftist", I'd let it slide...but he is so far to the left and somehow thinks that he is a 'centrist". Not unlike Freddie Snowflake who thinks that he is "fair and balanced"...Major cognitive dissonance with those two.

Speaking of which, Tsing [you] are probably the most fair and balanced in P&R...

I appreciate that, sir. Usually, trying to be balanced results in people from both sides hating you.

Forgive my ignorance but what race is this policy targeting? Islam/Muslim is not a race btw. I am using your exact words here which are "openly racist policy". Please tell me which race it targets.

Please dial down the calling everything "racist" bit. It is old and worn out my SJW snowflake. You have cheapened the term "racist" by shouting it at every disagreement. Please do not deflect or change the subject. I am simply asking you to inform us ignorant folks here the exact race or races that Trump is targeting with this exact policy. Please tell us. Thank you.

One definition : "Racism is discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity." Muslim is similar to any major religion, much like Jews were persecuted before and during WW2. If one persecutes Jews these days, a much less common activity these days, it isn't necessarily an attack against the state of Israel. Trump specifically signals out Muslims in his rhetoric. He didn't ban ALL citizens from the 7 countries, he specifically targeted ethnic groups. Some of his closest people were disturbed by the exact details of his order.

You may live in a bubble in the US but in Toronto our major paper one day had the entire second page discussing the worldwide condemnation of the policy because of how it targets a specific group of people simply because of their background or religion. The next day, we have the Muslim massacre in Quebec City where a deranged Canadian shot up a Muslim meeting. One can note he was a fan of Trump and a known internet troll. Not unlike numerous posters on here.

And I'm no snowflake, buddy. I think you are if you are upset with posts that label a racist policy exactly what it is. Here you are debating semantics rather then admitting that reality. Maybe if people posted less hate on here, it would be a more pleasant board.

Our major newspaper agrees with me as does the vast majority of world leaders beyond your borders. In reality, numerous posters on here want to post racist ideas and content and not take ownership of it. To put it bluntly, Trump's policy is totally fucked up. There is no need to talk semantics, it's a policy not unlike you'd find in 1930's Germany before shit really hit the fan. And people have to take a strong stand against such behavior.

You are both a snowflake , and a race baiter.

 

[Nine_Ender]

He has a real "persecution complex".

Hardly. You guys on here are so far down the rabbit hole that anything short of extreme right wing thinking is deemed "leftist". Now some of you support a fascist no matter what he decides to do. To me, America's problems are more entertainment then something that impacts on my life.

Well, I guess that settles it. We will have to reverse the policy and let anyone with brown skin who wants to move here come right on in.

Who is this "fascist?" We are supporting the duly elected president of our country.


Last week the ex-bouncer your lot elected was in agreement with him. He even offered to take in any refugees we didn't want, which I thought was very nice of him. I don't see the humanitarian crisis since Canada will apparently take them all in. You don't have a problem with that, do you?

Can you please cite your source for that definition of racism? Here is the definition from Merriam-Webster's
Definition of racism

1. 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
   
   
2. 2a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principlesb : a political or social system founded on racism
   
   
3. 3: racial prejudice or discrimination

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/racism

I would like to see your source please. Also you did not answer my question, what race or races is Trump being racist towards? Being Muslim is a religious choice. I need to understand how being Muslim is a race.

Let's start by seeing where you pulled that definition from, please cite your source here. Can you do that or are you an idiot who makes things up as you go along? Your ignorance is draining me.....(note how I sprinkled in a few unnecessary personal insults in the very classic Nine_Ender style)

 

[Snarkhund]

This is off topic, but in general I find you fairly unintelligent and unworthy of debate period. Most of your posts are pretty stupid, like calling me a "snowflake" and thinking that means something. For some reason, you don't know your limitations.

Actually you *are* a snowflake and a race-baiter. You are the poster child for the leftist trait of complete lack of introspection.

 

[MoneyMatthew]

By the way, here is the Medical Definition of "Race". I must use the Medical Definition to avoid more foolish and flawed logic here. Maybe I should not use the Medical Definition so I can be a victim.

Hey Nine_Ender, I now at this moment identify as a Black Muslim Woman and you are being RACIST TO ME!!!!
Medical Definition of race

1. 1a: an actually or potentially interbreeding group within a species; also : a taxonomic category (as a subspecies) representing such a group b: breed
   
   
2. 2: a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits
