I think he's fundamentally wrong but he didn't say "hey, I hate muslims, too". More like: "if that's his opinion... so what". | ||

In my humble opinion that does not know the context, I'd say a firm line in racial issues is a good thing in light Trump and his fellow closet racists. Freedom of opinion was to allow informed discussions without consequences, not just say racist things for fun. | ||

Misrepresentation of an organisation is a good reason, and whether he meant his statement or not is irrelevant. That said, anyone seriously outraged by this makes me facepalm. These things are said because they know people will get triggered. Don't feed the troll. But when those trolls are taking the white house, we have to reconsider our strategy. Those trolls are no longer just teenagers trying to gain attention. | ||

And they're one of the tamer big Christian denominations. But for some reason edgy internet racists never say "I hate Christians" when pulling dumb stunts like this. The reason is simple: most Christians, or at least the Western image of most Christians, are not brown people. However, I might add that looking at the context, Christians were very progressive with what they said about women giving more freedom than before and the core mentality behind is that to God, slave or king, man or woman, he or she is equal to others in God's eyes. I dunno much about the Quaran, but I am sure it is similar in its message too. | ||

The reason is simple: most Christians, or at least the Western image of most Christians, are not brown people. Actually the reason edgy internet racists never say "I hate Christians" anymore is because over the last few years any kind of criticism of religion in general (not just Islam) or especially Christianity, even if it is merited, even if it is polite, even if it is on-topic, is dismissed with a quick "tips fedora m'lady" and a link to /r/iamverysmart. And don't ever mention that you're an atheist or you'll be called edgy and get asked how many katanas you own. Lol. Thank Reddit for that, and the awful awful teens that inhabit it. | ||

They cannot stand firm without shooting themselves in foot and people believe they are capable for terrorism, 9/11, masacres in Europe, etc. But hating anyone is really stupid. Ok, you're from Serbia? A country that massacred 10,000 Muslim Bosniac men/boys less than 50 years for the only fact that they were muslim... And you sir have the audacity to to blame every muslim for the actions of the extremists? So, then by you're logic all serbs committed murders and committed genocide? | ||

I'm pretty sure if the TL mods were in charge of what everyone in America said, he would have been perma banned along time ago. Hopefully the rest of society continue to strongly reject stuff like this. | ||

If you're going to be a racist/sexist/homophobic/nazi dilhole in public, the consequence is that people will take offense. And yes they might invoke *their* freedom of speech and call you out on it, or even fire you over it. Deal with it, you crybaby. Because Trump is an authoritarian duh. And authoritarians try to limit speech. The problem today is that these kids go on witch hunts, try to get people fired from their jobs because they got offended. It was particularly bad when SC2 was popular, everyone was "CALL THE SPONSORS" when idra said someone should get cancer. Lol, i hate idra, but i thought it was hilarious. People are fed up with this stupidity and it will backfire. Its a mob mentality and people being sick of this swung to Trump. | ||

Are you offended that other people got offended and want to limit their rights? Are you on a witch hunt against them? Free speech doesn't just mean speech that doesn't offend you. | ||

Free speech doesn't just mean speech that doesn't offend you. the difference is that ppl should be able to say what they want, without worry of a liberal witch hunt hysteria. the kids behind it are just a mob mentality. i'm not offended that people get offended. i'm laughing at them. who cares? i love southpark because they make fun of everybody. i get offended by some of their stuff, but i love them for it. and i'm glad there is no liberal witch hunt hysteria to stop south park (mainly cause it'd get shut down, south park is too awesome). this is how it should be. no safe places. no trigger warnings. macro aggressions everywhere. just say whats on your mind and back up your stuff with solid reasoning. | ||
