Reply to comment by Ground2ChairMissile in Miami Daycare Accused of Putting Children in Blackface for Black History Month by Sandstorm400

First of all, I live in Australia and as such actively make an effort to learn about first nation cultures.

Secondly, there's a big difference between accidentally using a loaded phrase and painting my fucking face black. And this is about painting other people's children's faces for black history month.

Why do I have to pick from two made up examples, neither of which are relevant to this story? Get out of here with your false equivalencies.

Because people will go to absurd lengths to justify anti black racism

Both are examples of things you can do out of ignorance. Especially if you're a recent immigrant. And yes, they're relevant for that reason.

I'm sorry that you chose to ignore the question and refuse a civil answer, even after I predicted that you might do so. I can see that there's no point in continuing this conversation, so I won't waste my time.

Nobody is making you post here buddy. If you don't want to take part in the conversation you don't have to.

But don't act high and mighty because I'm not playing along with your tedious attempts to move the goalposts.

Edit - If you block me I can't read your disingenuous replies about how nobody wants to engage in civil discourse.

Like I said, it's Reddit, so it's an extremely common and predictable reaction to refuse to converse like an adult. So common that I knew there was a decent chance you'd do so right away, and was correct.

Have a nice day.

How about you take your smug jaqing off to a different website.
No one needs a 'civil debate' in which you make poor analogies to excuse blatantly shitty behaviour.

I need an example of a completely innocent phrase I as an English speaker can make in front of a native Australian that would cause offense?
