    Is fascism and colonialism tied to their DNA? Should we bully the antifascist freedom fighters in Germany because they're German by blood?

        ...why? Why not dunk on people for their actions instead of an immutable component of their biology? I could name 5 anglos who have done more for the left than anyone on this site.

        But that aside, don't you see why it's problematic to sort races into "okay to harrass" and "not okay to harrass", regardless of your sorting criteria?

            race is a social construct so its okay to discriminate on the basis of race

                Okay, well, "anglos" includes most of the IRA, is it okay to tie them to their apparently innate "colonizer culture"? Does that parameter of their birth define them more than their actions?

            Okay well yeah, but if two people who are clocked as anglos have a kid, that kid is more likely than not going to also get clocked as an anglo, and you seem to be arguing that because of that they're fair game to dunk on.

            I'm arguing that biology, race, racialization status, genetics, nationality, and anything else tied uncontrollably to birth, doesn't give you a license to dunk.
