    I get what you’re saying but you’re also saying that it’s cool to be racist against white people just because some white people are insufferable antisocial mentally deficient assholes.

    I would never say this about any race because I’m not racist, all people are the same. What does that make you?

      I had a similar argument the other day somewhere else. People seem to think you can’t be racist against white people, and argue that it’s not racism when they discriminate specifically upon the color of white people’s skin. Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media goes bonkers when you tell them that you can be racist against anybody regardless of skin color, as is the literal definition of racism. And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously on the opposing side of the political spectrum, when people in their own clique think they’re dumb as hell.

      I’m not who you responded to, but I’m butting in here. I do not believe the person you responded to has shown any evidence of racism.

      What does their comment plus yours make them? I’d say a small force opposing the inevitable consequence to this revocation of employment rights. The inevitable consequence being for agencies to engage fewer visibly non-white contractors.

      Not all people have the same opportunity. To say all people are the same is to deny systemic reality. Lemme know when everyone has similar wealth or power to Trump, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc.
