QuoteSteve G. Sorry, forgot Mauritania. The thread topic, not posted by me, is about Jewish groups condemning Michael Che for his anti-Jewish smear joke. Sorry, after your 24 posts I lost track of the fact that you didn’t initiate the topic. Mea culpa.by DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

QuoteSteve G. QuoteDeusxMac For the record: During the satirical Weekend Update “news” segment, Che, the show’s co-head writer said “Israel is reporting that they vaccinated half of their population, and I’m going to guess it’s the Jewish half.” To Steve G’s declaration that it’s a “lie”; by that standard the entire Weekend Update segment is lies.

QuoteRgrF Maybe the whole Pontiac line will need to be renamed? That would have to be posthumous/postmortem then. The mark was discontinued over a decade ago.by DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
If the name had been intended to mock1 or degrade a tribe/people, then it would definitely be an insult. But the overwhelming majority of uses of Native American names and words are to acknowledge, honor and/or link to their culture, history and capabilities2. 1See Chief Wahoo 2See AH-64 Apache helicopterby DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Quotenumbered I read this morning that 30% of military folks are refusing. Something like 20-25% of folks at the VA. etc. Anecdotal, but some of the sharpest people I’ve met were in the military, and more to the above data, some of the most ignorant and uneducated.by DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Quotepdq I think you have to be careful when naming things after heritage/ethnicity. Quotepdq The standard test I (and others) use in this situation is thinking about how it might look if the company brought out a new car called the Jeep Jew. I think this is a specious analogy; an over generalization that ignores the specific, relevant factors.by DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Quotefauch Trump was the first time since I am eligible to vote that I voted for a Republican candidate for president. It very well might be the last if they go back to putting up establishment RINOs. If there is any lesson to be learned from Trump it is that the career politicians in the Republican Party are completely out of touch with the will of the voters, albeit a substantial number of themby DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Quoterjmacs I find this statement to be overly oriented toward a gender binary that I think is harmful, if popular. If you don't believe in binary gender (and it would appear you don't, from your statement), you can see how this statement likely reflects unexamined aspects of a patriarchal system that naturalizes the binary, and conceals the political reality of gender inequality, especially in sby DeusxMac - 'Friendly' Political Ranting

Quoterjmacs QuoteSarcany Quoterjmacs QuoteRolando I think he's using "crush" for "admiration". But: would he use that word for a male official? If not, there's a sexual component and it's reasonable to point it out. Or simply "cis-gendered."
