Funny how I can hold these two apparently conflicting ideas at the same time. Sure. Having a DSA sticker isn't creating a hostile work environment, unlike having a swastika or whatever.

1stGear posted:Didn't Trump take out a full page ad in the Times demanding the Central Park Five be executed even after they'd been exonerated? Seems a bit worse than blackface imo. I mean, he announced his campaign with "all Mexicans in the US are rapists, drug dealers and criminals", and if someone doesn't think he's racist after that would seeing him in blackface really convince them?

Wilhelm posted:I gotta disagree, tons of progressive friends I know really don't like Warren for bastardizing indigenous background and literally submitting a recipe to a relative's 'pow wow cookbook'; this is something Trump can easily just repeat and wipe her with If that's the attack he was making, it would be effective. But Trump doesn't have the context to understand what cultural appropriation is or why it's bad. He knows this is something that hurt Warren, so he should keep reminding people of it. But he doesn't get that the reason it's bad is because claiming that ancestry was disrespectful. And you can't call someone out on that by making a bunch of racist jokes.

She’s turned it into a fundraising opportunity and is thiiiis close to raising $15,000 in a single day. Danica Roem is an ICON and this makes me really happy. Seriously, people turning out to support someone who's trans after a hate group comes to town...good to know it's happening somewhere.

Fragmented posted:I have to reply to the Portland hate. glowing-fish posted:I can give you three examples of ways that Portland and Oregon has helped break down segregation and racial injustice. These aren't perfect things, and they aren't all unique to Oregon, but they are significant, and I think they should be considered. Rather than deal with impressions or anecdotes, I will give concrete examples of laws that contribute to racial justice. What the hell is this. It's barely been two weeks since the police lieutenant in charge of handling protests was revealed to have actively collaborated with Patriot Prayer, and less than that since they were revealed to have withheld evidence against one of their members who repeatedly assaulted people (ignore the headline of that article, the key sentence is "prosecutors have asked police for more evidence, and police haven't provided it.") And the police union insists that these are all just "peaceful protestors" and antifa is to blame. Of course, the real elephant in the room here is that the "Portland hate" you're responding to started with people talking about the recent series of attacks on queer folk, almost certainly in response to the fact that, again, the police have made it extremely clear they're not gonna go after anyone for this. I don't know if you've talked to someone involved in the queer community lately, but it basically feels like we're under siege. So if you're in a position where you want to talk about how great this city is, I'm really happy for you. I am. I'm happy you don't have to worry about going out alone at night. I'm happy you haven't seen your friends with scars or burns from this poo poo. But you really need to understand: you're living in a different city than the rest of us.

Majorian posted:It's definitely the first thing. How would it be a jab at trans people? Introducing herself as a "wife" doesn't have anything to do with someone being trans or cis. It's the "identify as". If you're not familiar, that's sort of an awkward liberal phrasing when talking about trans folk (see: basically any newspaper article involving a nonbinary person), that sometimes gets adopted and mocked by the alt-right. Reddit, for instance, has this "I identify as an attack helicopter" meme. Similarly, "it's not PC for me to say I'm a woman" is pretty textbook transphobia. Put it this way: whether that's what she intended, that's exactly the syntax she'd use if she did mean it, and that's how anyone right-leaning in the audience received that message. It's not a big deal, I just wanted to clear that up for the thread, since there seems to be some confusion about what makes it problematic wording.

Casey Finnigan posted:What Jane Sanders said was very loving strange but what's far more mystifying is all the people in the thread saying, "Actually, I'm a straight man and let me tell you... there's nothing offensive about the extremely bizarre poo poo that she said, even though many women have openly expressed offense on Twitter." Yeah, exactly this. The statement is not a big deal. But if you see a trans person saying "hey, this is really, uncomfortably similar to rhetoric that's been thrown at me", and you dismiss that as "super weird", out of hand, just because you haven't had that experience? That is a problem.

Gatts posted:I said colored man. Person of color. Both implying there’s a person. Is the implication I just said colored? "People of color" is fine. "Colored" is what someone's racist grandpa says. Similar to how "trans" or "transgender" are good adjectives, but "transgendered" will get you weird looks, and "transsexual" will (unless you're self-describing) basically have everyone backing out the door.
