We need a :mask off: gif emote of the dude peeling his face off in poltergeist for this level of chuddery
Humphrey apologized but then doubled down.
He said: “I apologize for using the word Hispanic, but I was not wrong. Again, these are Hispanic. Reality is they are Hispanic. There’s nothing to be ashamed with.”
Yup, it was the word "Hispanic" that people were reacting to. /s
The only terrorist I see here is the one making the law. And why are the other lawmakers lecturing him and calling his behavior "unsurprising" instead of challenging him to a duel or punching him in his stupid face? American politicians have gotten far too malicious and dumb for modern American politics. I demand IQ and American history tests to qualify to run for election from now on.
Ah, the defence of every racist bigot "It's not racism if it's true!"
" is cool and all, but it's a little too ambiguous not to have it written down in the legal codes in plain English"
If JJ Humphrey wanted to get the Guardian on his side, he should've defined terrorist as "any person who is of Arab descent"
Give a priest a flamethrower and invent a new type of baptism level Satanic racism
Zamasu was right, just put humanity out of its misery already. The amoral hedonists won and I've seen enough.
