So you refer to individual words, then use a sentence as your example.

No, individual words cannot racist. Yes, sentences can be racist.

Is the word “Asian” racist? No.

Is the sentence “I hate Asians” racist? Yes.

Individual words, without verbs and adjectives, do not convey thought, intent, or motive.

LoL. So you’re not going to answer the question?

So according to you, a white guy yelling the n-word (just the word) to a group of black people isn’t racist?

The term “Asian” isn’t the same as the n-word. Whether you like it or not, the n-word signifies hate.

Linguistics and English, and the nuances required, seem to be beyond your grasp.

Something can be extremely rude and unacceptable, and not be racist.

That may shatter your worldview, but it’s true.

You're an idiot, like you really are.

THE N-WORD IS A RACIST TERM. PEROID.

If you honestly believe otherwise, go do a social experiment and go call a random group of black people the n-word. Let me know how that goes for you.

Does the 1st amendment cover hate speech?


It was written precisely for hate speech. Why would anyone try to limit people talking good about something.

A. You need to understand that it is not illegal to be a racist.
B. What the left thinks is hate speech, means all conservatives should have their speech limited. So if hate speech isn't free speech then the gov't can limit all speech and just say that it is hate speech.

So Snoop Dog is the biggest racist on the planet? It’s “a racist word period“, right?

Racist: a person who shows or feels discrimination or prejudice against people of OTHER RACES, or who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

per Oxford Dictionary

You might be the dummest, most ignorant, useful idiot I’ve ever seen on this board and that’s quite an accomplishment. You’re living evidence that we may have lost entire generations to pure stupidity.

It is racist for any person who is not black to say the N word.

There are racial slurs for all races that if you say it and you are not a member of that race, it is racist. We all know slurs for Asians, Hispanics. Hell, you can even say calling a white guy a "cracker" is racist.

The whole notion of "well black people say it" is wrongheaded. Lots of marginalized groups reclaim language as a means of subverting its power. By reclaiming this word, they flipped it on its head and used it as a tool of camaraderie to the point where the word lost its power over them. Another example is the "F word" in the gay community.

If you cannot comprehend this, I don't know what to tell you.

Say what you mean. All you did was throw out names. Do you believe it's ok for a white person to say the n-word to a black person, yes or no?

And the word is dumbest. Lol.

It depends, I graduated from a small school 47 male students in my class 4 of us white. The 2 guys that hung around the largest clique in the class were what you’d consider “redneck” types and they used the word all the time within this group of almost all black guys without ever getting a correction or even a second glance. So your ignorant generalizations and trying to speak for millions you’ve never met is in fact stupid or idiotic. As with most like you there is no real world experience, you’re only parroting what you think the social norms are and what Twitter tells you is “fact.”

It doesn't depend. The word is racist. PERIOD. I don't care if a couple white guys got away with saying it at your small school.

If you don't believe it's racist. I challenge you to do the same social experiment as Bjorn Cyborg. Go up to a random group of black males and yell the n-word.

Let me know how that goes for you.

Of course you don’t care about reality or anything else that proves you wrong, like I said you’re an idiot. And apparently you don’t understand what an experiment is since your example doesn’t follow any of the scientific methods for experiments. Again totally ignorant useful idiot parroting shite you’re told.

LoL. You sound stupid. So let me educate you again.

A social experiment is a kind of psychological or sociological research for testing people's reaction to certain situations or events. The experiment relies on a particular social approach, when a main source of information is people with their own knowledge and point of view.

Again, if you don't believe it's a racist term, I challenge you to go up to a random group of black males and yell the n-word. Simple.
