Current Events > What's the reason 'holocaust centers' is offensive?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's not hiding that the Jews were killed there...it's just an odd name...but I could be ignorant towards (((lingo)))

Ya, that part of his gaffe seems really tame compared to the chemical weapons part.

It sounds overly sanitary. A Holocaust center sounds like a place you go to learn about the Holocaust, not a death camp.
---

I think it was the whole package of comments and not "holocaust centers" specifically
---

It's offensive to people who took middle school history classes.
---

Spicer was attempting to normalize concentration camps in American vernacular for when we start to put Muslims in cultural summer camp foreveraways.
---

I think it's funny that an administration that along with all the other Republican jokeheads cried about Obama not saying Islamic Terrorism keep sanitizing its talk about the holocaust.

tbh from what i have seen of this guy so far, i think he's just not really a bright guy and a really shitty public speaker who is especially poor at speaking off the cusp, and when you combine that with the fact that like half this nation is watching his every move to accuse him and his administration of racism/anti-semitism/etc you get people freaking out about this.

if you read the transcript of what he said, even with that chemical weapons thing, it just really sounds like a guy who walked into class late and realized he had to present for a project that he was completely unprepared for, not someone trying to deliberately rewrite history.

It's pretty clear to me that Spicer really doesn't like his job and wishes that he was doing something else.

1. who says holocaust centers? like he made up a stupid name for this?

2. when first hearing it I thought he meant the holocaust museum

3. it makes him sound rightly so like an ignoramous

4. the mistake is so stupid that it is likely malicious and not innocent

I think most everyone is fully aware Sean Spicer is an idiot or grossly incompetent.

Seems like this but I found it funny that he didn't mention Jews specifically in the apology on CNN, like maybe he's afraid alt right will get upset

Why are jews the only ones many people seem to associate with the holocaust? They were the largest group but not the only one.

Correct, but they were the largest one so it makes sense to mention them.

Trump must have been a shit judge of character on The Apprentice if this is the calibre of people he surrounds himself with.

Because (((they))) want you to use (((their))) chosen words.
