I dunno, I don't think that is the case to be honest. [b]I'm just not convinced that that the abuse of the race card is so out of control compared to the potential shit that would be caused by aborting the taboo.[/b] Shit does happen, but it seems to be systematically contained.


[b]JonTron and Pewdiepie are two different situations though.[/b] Pewdiepie isn't a racist, he's just unfunny. JonTron actually insinuated some racist shit. I agree that we shouldn't let the word racism completely lose it's meaning, but that also means not going the other direction and thinking that racism requires explicit violence or slurs or whatever. 


[b]when did the right wing get into post-modernism? i'm used to post modernism being something edgy left wing kids do. where the fuck this idea that it's not cool to call it racism, that it must be called a "non-standard" view come from? this is some weird shit. Is this the new political correctness? [/b]



Just because somebody is racist in that way doesn't make them evil. Personally I just think JonTron is a dumbass. But just because they are not evil doesn't mean we must with-hold the racism term, since doing so would drain the term of all meaning. [b]Just because some people have abused to term doesn't mean that racism no longer is a term at all.[/b]
