There I fixed it. Do you understand yet why the original statement was racist? Or are you going to try and deflect more?

I don't think Latinx is derogatory or racist, but I suppose some do. Meh. Is it even a real thing or just a made up word? I think made up.
Sure the original statement could be considered racist, as I learned the Judge isn't from Mexico. I don't really care where he is from personally. At worst it is inaccurate as the Judge is not of Mexican Origin. What was derogatory was the insinuation / suggestion / accusation that he was biased.
Some people in this very forum call people "Whitey" but that is considered Okay.
Anyway I've said my piece... It's a dead horse.

It was a derogatory, and racist statement to make because its implying the bias is due to heritage and allegiance to a different country, a country which has been used as a scapegoat via bigotry, xenophobia, and outright racism by US politicians for a long time. A statement made by a classic race baiter, whom you had no problem voting for multiple times. You're really just proving the thread titles point.

Does it really matter what you think or the person on the receiving end of the message thinks?
Remember when you referred to homer as "You people"? A phrase which has a long history of being used in racist ways towards persons of color? I thought you had a bit of a learning experience there.

No don't recall calling HomerJS as "you people". I have however used the words quite a few times in reference to to wide swath of unnamed people generally speaking.
Here are some examples:
IF you have a specific instance where I addressed "You people" in a racist manner, please link it or admit you don't have any evidence to back up your accusation.
There is nothing wrong with the words You People.
@Perknose recall the blow up when pcgeek11 responded to Homer using the phrase you people?
pcgeek11 go back and reread my post. Did I say you intended to use it in a racist way?
But there is this gem…
U.S. Unemployment Rate Drop Leaves Out Blacks, Asians
Hey black people, what do you have to lose? Trump crowing about the unemployment numbers decided to hold an impromptu presser for gloating. I guess he forgot people were going to question him about other things. Yamiche Alcindor had the following exchange with Trump... When Alcindor, who...

Fine lets quote this thread for Context on what I said: HomerJS was using the term Us Black People and I addressed it the same way in an honest and respectful manner.
Sorry it doesn't meet your standards. Nothing racist about it.
I responded as below quoted:

That is a lie. You voted for the guy who pardoned the rioters, looters, insurrectionists, attacked police and tried to kill the VP.
You are lying to yourself and everyone and don't even know it.

damn, I don’t think I have ever heard anyone attempt to claim “you black people” is respectful in any context. Do you find yourself using “you (insert group here) people” on a regular basis?

I think the liberal media is partly to blame for the word “racism” and “racist” being so misunderstood and misapplied to everything under the sun.
Nobody gives a shit about bias and casual racism.
Bias, IMO, is your mother in law clutching her pearls when she walks by a dude in dreadlocks and baggy pants around his knees. It’s your dad admitting he never had any black friends growing up. It’s my mom saying you can never trust a Muslim. We all have inherent biases that are nurtured by our upbringing and the culture we absorb. Even the most anti-racist liberal crusader from NYC has a bias towards certain people, and will avoid them unless absolutely necessary. For the most part, we shouldn’t really care about who people choose to associate with, who they prefer as friends etc.
Casual racism, IMO, is telling (or laughing at) a joke that pokes fun at a specific group of people based on stereotypes or tropes. I don’t see how jokes about black people/“black” culture etc. are any worse than jokes about Irishmen, Italians, Indians, blondes etc. There are definitely times where someone can “cross a line” and as always, context matters. Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) telling a racist joke as part of his standup routine would’ve been seen very differently vs. him responding to a black heckler with a racist rant. I guess the only way to get it right is to know whether the group you’re making fun of can laugh with you or not. Russell Peters used racist tropes about Africans, Asians, whites, and everyone else under the sun but look at his audience and you’ll see everyone laughing at his jokes.
Racism becomes a major problem when these stereotypes and tropes become the basis of an actual policy, whether it’s a private business or government. Police using different criteria for probable cause or use of force when the target is black vs. white—that’s racist. Trump eliminating funding for sickle cell research will have an outsized impact on the black American community, and it’s racist as fuck. That’s a major problem. Just like redlining in real estate and denying loans to African Americans with equivalent credit scores to white Americans who’d be approved are racist policies perpetuated by businesses for decades. I’d prefer to focus on politicians and businesses perpetuating racist policies and I could give a rats ass whatever bias any forum members have towards any groups.

Remember all those years where conservatives were like 'liberals are mean to me and call me racist so that's why I vote for Republicans!'
Now their favorite shows are just like 'Nazis are good!'. Yeah, we had it pegged all along.

Conservatives are so desperate to prove racism is blacks targeting whites they are trying to make a federal case about Caitlin Clark getting hard fouled. A league these same conservatives ridiculed until now. They also in their desperation don’t realize hard fouls against the best player in the league are part of the game. Go back and look at the beatings Michael Jordan took from the Knicks and the Pistons early in his pro career. As for the racial taunting should we go back in history and compensate the black players who were taunted by Larry Bird using race? How did the black players respond? They respected him.
Get the hell out of here with your fake civil rights violation claim all from a pro game. Really desperate so it wouldn’t surprise my if Trump tells DOJ to investigate. If they do based on Clark’s previous response she will likely tell the DOJ to get lost
