That's the other thing. People are so convinced that racism only stems from using the n-word, and not other poo poo.

I had a friend in Korea (white American) who was attacked by an older korean man in a costco parking lot with pictures taken the entire time, including of the man on top of him, punching. My friend's Korean wife called the cops and when they got there, they treated the aggressor with utmost respect and doubted everything my friend said, despite evidence to the contrary. When his wife said they were demonstrating an attitude of racism, the cops said basically "how? we didn't say (the Korean word for friend of the family)"

Umm... lots of animals are monogamous or practice multiple types of mating habits where one includes monogamy. It is absolutely natural.

Read it as "the mistaken idea that only heterosexual monogamy is natural" and it makes more sense.

Like, it's so easy to not do racist poo poo. Normal people don't just say racial slurs casually without having any meaning behind it. Normal, non-racist people don't accidentally drop N-bombs.

If you just read the description of the video and skipped watching it, I highly recommend you go back and give it a look, because just describing it doesn't do it justice. He absolutely went for the gold on that one. He did racism hard enough to knock something off a table.

EDIT Don't watch it around people though, because they legit might hear it even if you're wearing headphones.

I hosed up and deserve to be dropped from Toronto Esports, I won't try to argue or make an excuse, I don't have any. I just want people to know what happened. I was having a really bad day. Didn't get much sleep, twitch wouldn't work for 2 hours after I woke up, and once it finally did, my internet was lagging. So I was pretty upset from the moment I woke up.
Then I get into a game against a widowmaker who is blatantly cheating. Everything was whatever, I've dealt with cheaters before, but when him and his entire team, and MY entire team start talking poo poo, it gets to me. I snapped. This isn't the first time this has happened. I have anger problems.
The only thing I can say is that despite me using that word, I am not a racist. I was extremely upset, and I was trying to make the person I was angry with upset as well, and so I said the most offensive thing that came to mind.
I hosed up, I have no excuse. Toronto Esports is a great organization and I am sorry to them for tarnishing their name. I've put my entire life into gaming/esports and this has been a massive wake up call.
Someone responded telling me that "I'm done for life" and that this wasn't a "wake up call". I just want to say that yes, I am done for life. I am quitting esports with no intention of returning (not that I could after this). This is still a wakeup call, regardless. I've destroyed too many things and hurt too many people in my life because of my personality. Whether it's just a character flaw or if I actually do have some sort of mental issue, I've waited too long to find out. I'm going to the doctor and I'm going to try to get help so I hopefully become be a better and happier person.

So I suppose you're fine with Pence- the second-in-command of the most powerful nation on the planet- never being able to meet with a female leader one-to-one purely because of what's between her thighs?

It must be nice not being blamed for other people's transgressions just because you exist.

He's not doing it just to respect his wife, he's doing it because they both think pretty much all women are seductresses and harlots, and it's not that HE can't be trusted, it's that THEY can't be trusted. No woman can be trusted. So yeah, anyone who is a woman or legitimately respects them will obviously be thinking "Ew. Pence is hella gross and puritanical."

Yet another useless take on Pence: the behavior (i.e. refusing to be alone with women other than his wife) is not really an uncommon stance with "serious" US Christians - those folks that go to church every loving Sunday. Not just for sermon, either. Sunday school, sermon, potluck. Then come back at 6pm for night church. Oh and there's a Wednesday night service.
While it's kind of weird, it's more common than you might realize.

Going to a place of worship isn't that weird if you are religious. Not being able to be around members of the opposite sex is.

I'm not saying I believe him in the slightest, but that logic doesn't work. You're implying that anyone who thinks racial slurs are a terrible thing to call someone must themselves be racist, which is obviously not true.
