The Beast 9,210 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 5 minutes ago, Inigo said: I don't think it's about a woke agenda tbh. The terms are legally accurate. You can be charged with racism for directing abuse based on nationality. So, in terms of the law, Irish is effectively regarded as a race. Legally but not factually accurate. They have been adopted by the liberal/woke movements as more impactful than accurate terminology. Racism is rightly regarded as a terrible thing by most people in the west; so it's more impactful to label people with opinions you don't like as racists than say xenophobes or some other more factually correct terminology.

Legally kinda matters, though. It's been legally defined that way because abusing someone based on their nationality can be seen to have a similar effect, and often has a similar intent, as abusing someone based on race. I don't think picking hairs that it's 'xenophobia, not racim' does anyone's argument any favours. They're comparable forms of discrimination. Abuse based on nationality should be regarded as terrible, so I don't see why we should be upset that it isn't given a lesser importance.

I'm not upset and I don't disagree that such prejudice is also terrible. Im simply poining out that the left wing/woke have been defining language including legal precedent to suit their own agenda rather than to accurately reflect what a person is accused of.

Maybe they're just right in this instance. Or maybe taking up the fight that 'yes, abuse based on national origins is very bad, as is abuse based on race, and the woke brigade and I actually agree on that, but I'm suspicious as to their motivations in conflating the two very bad things' is an unecessary distraction and a pointless fight in the grand scheme of things.

Built on hatred and division. They thrive on it and their very existence depends on it. Now it seems they are dividing our support which is tragic but something I’m sure these cunts will be absolutely delighted with.

The yes voting Rangers fans are the type who like Rangers but hold the same or similar views as beggars, the only time they've been to Ibrox is when one of their bear pals offered them a spare ticket and even then they probably have to give their mate a few lines so he doesn't let the cunts on the bus know he's a nat or else he'd get the pish ripped out of him.
