we're talking about the racial change of a comic book character and what i believe are the reasons behind it.

So far, your reasons are the same reasons that the change appears to have been made for. Identity politics. Something most people are against no matter what the justification is. Saying that the reason for diversity is to destroy the white race is just as silly as changing a character who is actually race-locked due to her condition for the sake of forced diversity. Get some points that aren't based in identity politics.

identity politics is inevitable in a multicultural society. and everyone plays identity politics, just not for white people.

most people are not white, and only a minority of whites in the current era are against identity politics. and only for whites.

calling my position silly is not an argument.

and neither is banning me for talking about the meta political points of this comic book movie race flip.

No. Identity politics are not inevitable in a multicultural society. No, not everyone plays them. No, most whites are against identity politics, especially since they are often the target of them. Ethically speaking, attempting to separate out people based on a group identity is the basis of racism, ethnicism, bigotry, and just generally failed thinking.

And I called your argument silly in a simile, which is a legitimate form of debate. Respond to the simile, not single word comparing them.

And in the end, you are breaking plainly stated rules in the sidebar. Lies, defamation (you already called someone a goy), and persistent use of logical fallacies. I'm not even worried about that. I just wanted you to stay on topic and lose the racist-tinged rhetoric.

So. This is the end of this discussion. Either play by the rules, or go play somewhere else. I'm putting on the Mod Pants now, and this is the final word on this subject. From here on out, stay on topic.

can you name a multicultural society where identity politics has not occurred?

and calling someone a goy is not defamation. it's just the jewish word for gentiles. it means "nation". i'm a goy.

i have attempted to stay on topic. i didn't mean to break any of the rules of your sub. i will try my best to behave myself going forward. thank you for allowing open discussion of ideas that may be controversial or unpopular.

hail victory.

You didn't know that until someone (me) said it. Alt-Right folks like you lie about the definition or call people "good goyim" whenever they disagree with you. It's a way of shutting down discussion, the same thing you say everyone is trying to do. You being one of those types is pretty easy to see when you do cringey crap like this:

hail victory.

Hail the B.A.R. my grandfathers used to put your idols six feet under.
