Whether or not a generalizing bigot is a racist depends on more than that. Given the example, the chances are high. However, there is no French race and I find the calling of the entire population of France a single ethnic group a bit disgusting. So no, in isolation I would not call French-hate racism, but it still doesn’t make it right. Just like calling someone a “piece of shit” on the internet.

There is no Italian race! Boarders are not ethnic groups, and by claiming they are you are generalizing the contents of those boarders.

That being said, sweeping generalizations are still wrong. However, your attitude in this whole comment chain has been abhorrent and it’s surely not swinging anyone over to your viewpoint.

To be quite honest, I did some searching of race and racism before even my first response to you just be sure. I still dont agree with you and neither did what I found. Furthermore, unless there’s some votes not federating to my instance, nobody on here agrees with your initial claim.

I think I understand where your coming from, but I’m uncomfortable with blurring the distinction between national boarders and race. After all, I think we both agreed that different human races aren’t real, while nations are much more concrete. If we label all generalization as racism, I fear that it waters down the meaning of the word, just like when people call anything more authoritarian than them a Nazi.

However, we can definitely agree that sweeping generalizations are bad. Instead of spreading hate in the world, we should treat others how we would wish to be treated.

Oh, I misread your post then. I thought you were accusing me of diving into your history. I haven’t, so I couldn’t say what you have said. However, I never accused you of saying anything in the first place. Without that, your comments make no sense.

Lol! I did no such thing. It’s just an easy target on Lemmy. Even if it is in your history, I can assure you it’s in many other people’s too. I was also thinking about an Alabamian generalization, but figured Isreal was more topical.

But now that you’ve outed yourself: shame on you ya dirty racist! 🤣

Sure, none of these labels are strictly real; they’re just words, but that have meanings. If someone instead was upset with the current actions of Isreal and said “fuck Israelis”, is that racism to you to?

Do you think any race is real?

Sure, the human race. Assuming we’re on the same page with that, it makes this bickering seem even more absurd. ✌️

Against the Italian race?

Oh, sorry!

she probably doesn’t have an onlyfans

As pointed out elsewhere in these comments, she actually does. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Regarding the edit:

The mobile link might be better than the usual link, but I’d still prefer the one-stop-shop of this current method. Comic, hover text, and comments are all viewable in one place without the additional wait of switching to a browser app and loading the page. I wish the desktop experience mimicked this.

I guess this is going to come down to desktop vs mobile preference. On mobile this shows everything on one page with no additional loading. Alternatively, using the source page requires multiple steps and page loads for mobile users, who may also need to amend the link to see the hover text.

Thanks for the tip!

Ah, thanks for clarifying. I never knew about the hover text. I just viewed the source page on my desktop browser and now I see it. However, is this text even viewable on mobile, when you don’t have a cursor to hover?

E: Now that I’ve read the hover text on my desktop, I’ve noticed that it’s the same as the text added to the post by the bot. I really like this implementation with the image linked alone. When the post is viewed on mobile, all text is viewable and the full comic is shown legibly.

I actually like it better this way because the full comic can be viewed and zoomed in on in app (Voyager in my case). I’ve seen these posted with the source page as the post link and I can’t click on the image to zoom in without being pulled out of app with a wait for the web page to load. Also, when entering the post to see the comments, the thumbnail is so small when the source page is linked, making the comic unreadable. With an image alone, the full comic is viewable beside the comments. Is it different for you?

For sure!

That’s not at all what I’m saying. No holocaust denial is necessary if those in power abuse the law.

Surely this won’t ever be abused to silence/punish Palestinian supporters or anyone critical of Isreal. That never happens.
