So I ask the question directly, how, apart from the social connotations attached to them, does the usage of the word 'thug' to describe recent events differ from the same sentence which uses the word 'friend of the family'? Its an attempt to otherize and separate a group from a wider community so that those individuals may be disparaged openly with comments which would be otherwise unacceptable should they be made about the whole community.

they exist on the same spectrum of things you shouldn't call people and that don't belong in polite conversation, but because of all the baggage, thug isn't quite as bad as friend of the family. that said, the meaning and intent are the same, even if the sting isn't, and anyone using thug to describe a broad group of people generally should be pilloried for it

i always love when people start going "well we shouldn't let people abort because they find out the kid will have X trait"

its like hello they hate that trait enough to be willing to undergo an abortion, how well do you think they'll treat the kid if you force them to have it??

While many Americans have German heritage, nowhere near as many Americans as Germans are direct descendants of nazis, nor do these German-Americans refuse to sell homes to Jews.

if everyone really is that racist against themselves that no one out of billions of people wants to continue it then what's the real problem. poo poo the trait package would probably come back in fashion after a few generations. people would still have actually been descended from whatever ethnicity in question.

how about if the epigenetics of sexual preference were mapped out, would it be problematic if you could design your child's sexual preferences?
