Two days after a news site called out Rocket Money for ‘financing white supremacy,’ the financial services app suddenly removed all mentions of its advertising relationship with Tucker Carlson.
It almost sounds like you think that other person’s “racism” was real bad or something. Like saying a person of Mexican descent can’t be a white supremacist is on par with the deep hatred coming from some people that we all recognize as extremely wrong. But we’re to take that this person’s statement is also racism?! It’s good to know that hatred isn’t only on those that it targets but can also be wielded in the same way by members of that very group. I still don’t think pointing it out as simply racism is fair. Mocking Jews who supported Hitler wouldn’t get a racism or xenophobic label tossed around by me as a result. I’d agree. You’re not defending anything or anyone that’s worth defending.
Nah, was just clarifying that I understood what they were saying. If the punchline is racism, I often miss it. (Which is also not a value judgment thing, I’m just not hip on the tropes that others are)

It’s the racism label I’m having trouble with. It seems race related but not racism.
