    a few days ago there was a thread on lemmy.ml and we all blamed sinophobes for their bigotry, but when it’s reversed it’s ok?

    White isn't a race, its a social construct that has come for historical reasons to stand for a group of European colonialists from a variety of countries. I'd tread very carefully if I were you, because we will not tolerate white supremacists whining about "reverse racism" here.

      I never said white is a race either. I didn't even mention white. we were talking about Anglo-Saxons I assume? even then I clarified in one of my comments that Anglo-Saxons aren't technically a race.

      and now I'm getting ban threats from an admin of lemmygrad because we disagree over a title. why are you so hostile? did I say anything outrageous without knowing? I apoligoze if I did, but can you point to it?

      white supremacists whining about "reverse racism" here.

      bold claim. I never suggested, or even implied that white people are superior or any bullshit like that. as I said I didn't even mention white, you brought it up. I just said saying that an ethnic group has a negative trait in their DNA is racist. but apparantly it's a controversial take on lemmygrad.ml

      and you would do me a favour if you don't classify me in the "reverse racism" crowd. I did not say there's sytematic racism against "white people", I didn't even come close to that. it was just a title.

      but well, thanks for your warning, and for not banning me. I enjoy talking to you guys, just wished you would reply to me and explain why I'm wrong, instead of downvoting me. that would make a more productive discussion, and a more pleasant experience.
