    I didn’t justify it. I explained where it comes from. You went on to be reductive in order to use what you thought was more grand rhetoric because you are weirdly defensive about Americans. I don’t think you are just fucking around. I think you probably do think something along the lines of “making fun of Americans is prejudice. Being bigoted against Roma is prejudice.” And then making no further distinctions. You keep trying to pull that “you should stop supporting prejudice” line which is either you being sincere or you “just fucking around” but it’s hard to tell since what you think is sarcasm is dangerously close to what you seem to actually believe.

      You’re right. I do think being bigoted against the Rromani is predijuce. But, I’m not so sure if you believe that. Americans are so blinded by hate, they really will justify anything.

        So I said that knocking on Americans is not on the same level as being bigoted against Roma but you are somehow concerned that that means I don’t think being bigoted against Roma is prejudice? Is that you being sincere or just fucking around again?

          You made that point as if it were relevant or necessary. It’s insulting and simple-minded to believe that speaking out against prejudice is necessarily equivocation. And it’s frankly weird to support being prejudiced at all. And the lengths to which you fight for that view is gross, and you’re in bad company.

            Ok so it’s not that you don’t think there is a difference you just think that difference is irrelevant and that acknowledging that difference is supporting prejudice?
