I guess he doesn't want to tell us how many instances we're supposed to observe before it starts counting as being a bigot. Strange. I didn't see your post. It depends on what you mean by "bigot", and what you think is ok to do to "bigots". If we define a "bigot" as somebody who has said something that can easily be read as bigotted, then yes the guy is a bigot. I think the definition would be a behavioral pattern of discrimination. Saying something on twitter could be cause to investigate such a thing, but it's far from proof. Let's go with your rules, let's say one thing that to multiple people reads as "clearly bigoted" makes them a bigot. Then what? What is fair to happen to them? How do they lose that label? If a bigot is fired is that fair? If a bigot loses their health insurance because of being fired is that fair? If a bigot loses their house because of being fired is that fair? If a bigot suffers medical harm because of all these things is that fair? I'm seriously asking, because I know the game that's being played, it's label someone as an other, than then it doesn't matter what happens to them. Or am I wrong? Is there something that would be unfair to happen to them? Or if their very next tweet was "my bad, I mispoke" is all forgiven? Did they lose their definite label of being a bigot? --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori https://imgur.com/TheGsZ9 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
