    I don’t generally split hairs on enslaving people to make a racist argument that my people are better in some way cause they might have treated their slaves better in some circumstances, that’s legit crazy. To the point where I try to reject proper verbiage because it paints people a color I don’t like.

    If I had a choice to be a slave, would I prefer being an Asian woman being group raped by Asian men until death, would I rather be castrated and worked to death in persia, would I rather he worked to death an whipped on a plantation, would I rather be a house slave for the Ting (which by the way they said they were very nice to their slaves and I bet they was never a bad experience!), would I rather be a Chinese space to the Khan?

    None of those sound good, none of them sound like a race is better than the other, you are making a racial argument based on the nuances of slavery and it’s kinda silly!

    Racist.

      We’re not talking about modern people, nor are we blaming modern people for their ancestors behaviour. We are examining the crimes historic people did to other historic people, which do vary in different degrees in scale and violence.

      The racism you are accused of isn’t because of your people’s past, it’s because you are still utilizing the same racist classification system and justifications that led to their crimes in the first place.

      would I prefer being an Asian woman being group raped by Asian men until death, would I rather be castrated and worked to death in persia, would I rather he worked to death an whipped on a plantation, would I rather be a house slave for the Ting (which by the way they said they were very nice to their slaves and I bet they was never a bad experience!), would I rather be a Chinese space to the Khan?

      Lol, a lot of writing to admit you just don’t care about the suffering caused by chattel slavery in America. I didn’t claim that there weren’t horrific versions of slavery in east Asia, though you are exaggerating certain aspects. What I claimed is that there is a difference in scope and cruelty, compared between the two, which is just a fact.

      none of them sound like a race is better than the other,

      Lol, still about race for you huh.

      you are making a racial argument based on the nuances of slavery and it’s kinda silly!

      Lol, ethnicity does not = race you fucking idiot.

      The whole point of this is that race is construct that can’t be used to actually examine the ethnic prejudices that happened in a specific area at a specific time.

      Racist

      Says the person defending an argument developed by white supremacists…

        Uh hu, are the white supremacists who came up with the verbiage you don’t like in the room right now?

        Yeah chattel slavery was super bad, maybe uniquely bad, that really doesn’t say anything about all slavery, which is also bad, no real reason to split hairs expect you specifically don’t want to be associated with white people, I guess. I would call that racism honestly. Would you call that Asian supremacy?

        “OUR SLAVERY ISN’T AS BAD, AS THOSE YUCKY WHITES!”

        I don’t know that Muslims are white tho… So that’s not very careful about language.

          Nah, just their legacy…

          no real reason to split hairs

          Not ignoring one of the largest crimes against humanity = splitting hairs… Interesting.

          You do realize you are the only person separating people based on skin color? My wife is German, I don’t hold her country’s past against her. But, if she was a Holocaust denier, or attempted to become a Nazi apologist, things would be different.

          “OUR SLAVERY ISN’T AS BAD, AS THOSE YUCKY WHITES!”

          The internalized guilt is strong with you…

          I don’t know that Muslims are white tho… So that’s not very careful about language.

          Islam is a religion you idiot, it’s not a race, or an ethnicity…Also, you are the only person legitimately utilizing skin color to categorize people. I don’t care what your pigmentation is, that’s not the thing that makes you a racist moron.

            Lol you think I’m white.

            Next thing you know you’ll be telling me you can’t be racist cause of your white friends.
