Anyone who wants to live in a nation with a small government with maximal freedoms, free speech, rule of law, the protection of property rights is by extension saying they want to live in a culturally Eurocentric society.
Calling someone a pussy is sexist at best, misogynistic at worse.
Didn’t catch that? Not my problem to fix.
As if they ever actually met a real white supremacist. If there were as many as the MSM claimed, in the many millions, it would be an absolute blood bath in every city across the US every day.
Honestly, I don’t think that these half assed bloggers that pass for journalists know how ugly or severe it is to throw those types of words around as freely as they do.

I am ok with what you said, I was just curious why TB didn’t go after you the way he went after Raj is all.
You are splitting hairs here.
No, it isn’t, but I get it - you’re not American, so you’re confused about our cultural use of terms.
No, I’m not, and you should know better - making an equivalence between calling someone a “pussy” to mean the same a a"wimp" and calling someone the gay slur “f*****” and slandering them as having HIV is being intentionally ignorant.
Todd sounded like a jackass and beclowned himself, but didn’t discredit himself by using wholly inappopriate slurs.
You know what–this has been the standard paradigm for engineering for decades now. That’s near universal for the engineers I am friends with.
Yes, and I’ve called him out directly on his racism and then given him an express opportunity to correct the record if I’m wrong. He never does.
He shifts and deflects because he knows, like his fellow traveling Alt-Righters, if he goes full racist, he’s no longer welcome in polite political conversation. But when put in the spot - he won’t deny his racism. He just hopes the subject changes.
Timely that you said that, Aragorn.
I have a VERY intelligent friend. He graduated as an Electrical Engineer I THINK in the mid-to-late 80’s or so. Refuses to get retraining (you can imagine that what he learned in College was most likely obsolete before his Diploma was dry)…and blames lack of Jobs in his field to outsourcing, etc.
I have other friends that graduated in “Computer Programming”…when in College they had to get “Computer Time” at “the” computer in the Middle of campus…that was programmed with punch cards!
This was NOT Centuries ago.
Needless to say, none of them are working in Computers.

How does that work exactly? Reason I ask is because typically it goes like this:
Person A “You’re a racistsexistmysoginisticxenophobe!”
Person B “No I am not.”
Person A “Yes you are”
Then Person A firmly plugs ears and claims victory.
Granted, the mystery that is Raj has aligned himself with the actual alt-right for what ever reason, but him aside- How does one defend against an accusation in the court of public opinion?
I’ve been a software engineer for 30 years at the same company for over 20 years. Constant change is normal and we are required to complete 40 hours of education every year just to stay employed.

Thanks, toddrc:
Being a Software Engineer then you REALLY know how obsolete ones training can become if they do not stay up-to-date.
The early to mid 80’s saw the death of things like punch cards and the birth of things like…well…SOFTWARE…processors, Motherboards, memory, etc…and it seems to change almost every year.
Well, the problem with your example is it didn’t and doesn’t happen that way.
Here it is, again, in condensed form:
-
Racism is at its core a belief that races are not equal.
-
Raj believes, and is on the record stating, that liberty is great, and life with with small government, freedom, etc., is great, but says that liberty is contingent on race.
-
Meaning, certain races are incompatible with liberty - they just can’t handle it, appreciate it, don’t like it, whatever. But at base, race is conditional to liberty.
Obviously, this is at direct odds with the idea that races are equal. And that is racism, by definition, and straight from the pages of a race nationalist manifesto.
So, far from just crying “racist!” at some dubious comment to shut down an argument, I’ve discovered Raj’s philosophy and pointed it out in various contexts. It’s there for anyone paying attention.
Raj could object at any time, but he doesn’t. And that’s because I’m correct in my description.

I believe all races are equal but that doesn’t mean they’re all 100% the same. If I point out that there are racial differences in blood pressure, is that a racist statement?

No - these are principles of NW Euro culture people. A subset of whites. Try again.

Different groups have different tastes and preferences. If I were to go to China/Mexico/wherever I wouldn’t tell them they’re “inferior” because they do not operate their countries the way I’d prefer. That’s how they want to run their country and their people that’s up to them. I personally prefer to live in a NW Euro culture and if you are a small government conservative so do you.
No it’s really not.
I think the problem is you sometimes use “white” and “white culture” interchangeably. Race means nothing, we all know this.
Sometimes I use “pussy” and “coward” interchangeably. Now I know not to do that around these parts. AskFeminists website also says that this could be sexist so maybe I will never use the word pussy again. For the record, I’m not a sexist, and I’m not a misogynist.
Eh. I don’t really care what they say or not. Depending on the etymological origins you subscribe to it, it could be several things. None of them entail necessarily that the “cowardly” definition should be treated as taboo due to possible connection to a parallel development of the term as denoting female sexy parts.

This is all an equivocating dodge from your earlier positions. If you actually believed the above, you wouldn’t care about different races coming to the US and you wouldn’t keep saying liberty is in jeopardy because “demographics is destiny”.
Why? Because if you actually believed that, then them coming here, people of all different races, the presumption should be that they all want to enjoy America and it’s freedoms, etc. and none of them are disqualified from it before they arrive.
But you don’t think so and you don’t have that presumption. You think some,are disqualified and you think they need to be barred from coming here on a theory they will “pollute” the liberty we have. You’ve said this repeatedly.
C’mon, the game is up. Stop being politically correct and own it.
Is it racist to accept that racial differences exist amongst races based on evidence? Yes or no?
I used the example of blood pressure above.
