Everyday racism

[James R]

I reject the extreme edges of those movements certainly

You reject the basics. Asking you to stop harassing women is too "extreme" for your tastes.

It is an issue of course, even in our country, and it is an issue I am concerned about, and have in many ways acted on,....

Do tell.

The racism concern is everyone's problem, but when taken to extremes, is like sexism allegations...all nonsense.

Racism and/or sexism is nonsense. Do tell us why.

People need to laugh at themselves.

Racism is all fun and games to you?

So far no examples of taking such concern to extremes have been posted here.
Instead, we have several examples of defended obliviousness to everyday racism.
Which are of course thread relevant - but not, apparently, up for discussion.

Besides having many idigenous friends, [4 or 5 I see often and drink with] I have an Irish buddy who tells the best Irish jokes ever.

The question is why. Why do such posts appear?

Consider that claim settled, at least on this thread - as far as I can tell you have persuaded everyone here that your behavior is normal and common and "everyday" behavior in your society.

No, he hasn't.

What you are witnessing are the gasps of a bigot trying to defend his offensive behaviour by claiming it is the norm. It isn't the norm. It is not acceptable.

Anyone who calls out his behaviour is an extremist. Anyone who calls out similar behaviour is an extremist.

Paddoboy likes to keep his bigotry family friendly.
