there is onvious discrimination happening in this story so why are you so sure it wont happen to you? Do you not care as long as its not you, and would you even care if it was you?

Well as a real Social Justice Warrior, I've got to say, this is a non issue. And as a white male, I've got to say that I've never been discriminated against in any meaningful way nor will I probably ever be.
Actually I was wrong about her Palestinian roots she's a Turkish Cypriot according to the guardian which all glowing about her except for maybe the violent hashtag this woman tweeted

So, you're telling me that this encyclopedia describes Hillary as a Communist, and an Anti-Semite? That seems unlikely. Or, the encyclopedia you're reading could be unreliable...

The Regressive Left is at it again............More and more it seems like the most overt discrimination in modern America is coming from the "progressives"
First of all, if you plan on using these kinds of labels you should at least use them properly to make sense.
The Regressive Left aren't Progressives. That is why they are the "Regressive" Left rather than the "Progressive" Left.
Lumping them together as if they are of the same ideology doesn't make sense and might be part of your confusion as to what is happening and who's doing it.
I realize to many of you who consider yourselves to be on the Right in whichever sub class of Rightists you may be, a Progressive is a Regressive is a Liberal is a Democrat is a whatever. But that's not the case. Just like everyone on the so called right isn't the same kind of Conservative.
IMO, all the labels should be dropped because they're all BS and just cause division anyway. But if you plan on using them you should really first learn what they mean.

Until "the left" disavows the "regressive left" they WILL be considered as one.
They like to lump racists in with "the right" so....why not.

Ha. I don't really believe that, do you? I mean, I just don't feel like I've ever had to be censored. I'm not totally PC, but I just say what I say with manners, generally.

To an extent yes I do believe this.
For example, I think gender dysphoria or being trans is a mental disorder that society should not be catering to or encouraging. Especially when it comes to kids.....i think that's sick and people who believe that should just disappear IMO.
I think Islam is a terrible religion and it should be abolished from the face of the earth. Too many innocent women and children have died in horrific ways. I don't care if there are good Muslims, the religion is a fail. Radicals ruined it. Plus from what I've read the Qur'an calls for and dictates that ruthless behavior.
I love the idea of securing our boarders.
All those things and more I'm technically allowed to say, but I set myself up for name calling and to be ostracized by a large group.
It used to not be like that.....PC culture is growing out of control.

I have found out that I am not as European as I thought or looked, but my identifying culture is white, rural American, and my phenotype is best defined as Europid. Too mixed and generalized to be anything else. But what do I latch onto for my roots? Italian, Austrian, French, Czech, German, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Spanish, Welsh, Scottish, British, Irish, Swedish, Finnish, Native American, East Asian, African, West Asian, Jewish? Which one? All of those are strong, distinctly different cultures. Mine is white American. It's how I was raised. It's how I look. It's still a culture even if it's not as old as the ones that have shaped it. I do think our educational institutions, in the mid to lower echelons that is, teach students to dismiss that, or at least devalue it, which is a tried and true necessity toward subjugating a population--destroy their culture. In this case, we're often led to believe that we don't have one. Rich, white kids get to have their white culture, and people that are clearly a minority get to have theirs because they are not enough of a threat... yet, but not the rest of us though. I am at the point where I'm wondering why we can't all just consider ourselves American in the U.S. and drop it.
Now before I say what I am about to say, I would like everyone to know that I could not care any less what someone's background is. I love learning about new cultures and ways of life so I can say this knowing full well that because I am "white" this may come off as racist.....but I'm going to say it anyway...
Black people are very mixed as well. There are so many different cultures and ways of life within Africa and the black communities over there. Yet somehow African-American is a term but if you're European American, you are white. It boggles my mind.

Sounds like segregation to me. Isn't that illegal?
