“Regarding your second question, who is that second population? Like high school and college players who could never go pro?”

As has been pointed out by many, that’s why you have to tell people, “That thing you just said / did is racist”, and not “You are racist”.

Because it is the lowest of the low-hanging fruit.

Yeah, that’s just not accurate.

Those places will be absolute shitholes.

Boo youtube. Have a gif!

Ugh. Thank you for this. I hate to admit it, but I’d repeated this one once or twice without really questioning it.

Perhaps you can separate a person’s actions and beliefs from who they *really* are, but I tend not to be friends with people who are racist, homophobic, disingenuous hypocrites.

“RBG is allowed to express her opinion! It’s completely inappropriate for you to criticize her for that!”

Have you been to Panama? Because I went there, and it was terrible. Food is horrible, people are SUPER racist (I was there with my Korean wife and her brother; even without speaking the language, it was hard to miss) and really not much to see or do.
