It looks like there's little evidence Bannon hates Jews. The problem with the left yelling racist is that they're now the boy who cried wolf. — Hanover
I think maybe people on the left project their own racism onto everybody else. It reminds me of that Avenue Q song, Everyone's a Little Bit Racist. On hearing it, I got the feeling I was supposed to laugh along and think, 'yeah, I've totally thought those things!' but I hadn't, so the impression was more like, no, that's just you that's racist, retard.
Casual racism comes from contact with other ethnicities, noticing differences, having ingrained biologically-driven preferences, and having bad experiences with an out-group. All of that is unfortunate, but it's part of life.
The joke is literally that South African languages have clicks in them. How is that funny? I mean, it doesn't offend me, but there does seem to be this weird sort of racism to it in that the very notion that a language might make use of a sound that yours doesn't is enough material for a standup routine. Likewise, how is it 'funny' that Mandarin speakers sound like Mandarin speakers?
You suggested that the Avenue Q stuff was left projection. — csalisbury
