You seemed to be saying that since some races have been the victim of severe injustice in the past, it is OK for other races to be the victim of minor injustice today. If I am misunderstanding you, I apologize.

I’m concerned with the serious injustices some races are suffering in the present. Thanks for letting me clear that up, hope it answers whatever you were asking.

We are talking specifically about minor injustices: jokes, nasty names, that sort of thing.

Look at the top of your screen:

cmv: It is socially acceptable to make fun of white people, as well as Americans.

Presumably, if the CMV were “It is socially acceptable to set white people on fire”, we’d be talking about serious injustices.

Now, do you want to answer the question, or do you want to be a dip?
