No the "crisis" has always and will always be that bigots are running around saying bigoted shit. If being a bigot were not tolerated and they didnt openly brag about it then there wouldnt be a response now would there? A response NEEDS to be sharp and abrupt and actually mean something or its just another case of hand wringing at the sidelines that amounts to nothing. Off hand remarks are just the first step to making a bunch of absolutely heinous shit official policy because if you are allowed to say it then the people that want to DO it start doing it. I could get into details but it would be far too off topic for this thread especially considering the current topic is already WILDLY off topic but lets just say all you gotta do is look at the news and what is being allowed to happen.aaaaand attitudes like that are the actual reason we have this "crisis" on hand. an off-hand remark getting interpreted and reinterpreted and amplified like a major offense against a chosen minority group, when said minority isn't even aware and wouldn't even care if it was (saying that as "affected" minority). and on top of that "act like a 14 year old" remark. purity was blamed for 4 years old posts. can 14 yo kids change hitting 18?
When hate speech is allowed it leads directly into racism as policy which is why you cant condone it even if its "just a joke" or "just an off hand remark" because thats always where it starts. Either way this will be my last comment on this topic because there really isnt anything else to say other than dont be a bigot. If a bigot kept their mouth shut and didnt run around spewing nonsense that shouldnt be said in the first place there wouldnt be a response. "Dont start none wont be none."
