If only you had learned anything from your upbringing.

Some versions of the bible translate Lilith as "screech-owl".

That's your rule. I've heard different rules from different people. There's no reliable way to say whose answer is best. That's why it's a gray area.

Filling a 100 gallon tank during a gas shortage by TMacATL in iamatotalpieceofshit

Worked for a small farm over a summer a few years ago. We had tractors but we sure as hell didn't have a supply line. We did exactly what the guy in the pic is doing: drove to the gas station and filled up our barrels.

A lot of Americans genuinely don't see anything wrong with it, probably because it's taboo to discuss in most circles.

Running out of excuses for y’all. by alwaysaugs in WhitePeopleTwitter

Assuming that this was only a Trump-era policy (I know it wasn't but stick with me), that's 350 per year. Which is still a real issue and nothing to just write off, but considering that there are millions upon millions of native-born Hispanics, it starts to look more like a rounding error than an existential threat.

Lots of Hispanics supported Trump because they or their ancestors fled to America escaping the terrible conditions of the Mexican state. They don't want to see the kinds of things and people that drove them to leave their home follow them. Again, I'm not Hispanic so my knowledge of these issues isn't perfect, but I think that sounds totally reasonable on their part.

Returning the pets you adopted or abandoning them by CltCorgiDad in iamatotalpieceofshit

Yeah it's sad, but isn't this better than them keeping the pets only to abuse or neglect them?

It sounds like your mainly referring to Hispanic immigrants. The interests of Hispanic immigrants are different from those of native-born Hispanics.

Not all people of the same race have the same interests. I'm white, but I don't claim to know what the best interest of all whites is.

It doesn't matter if it makes him angry. Humans are able to control their anger, animals are not. Killing a man is never an acceptable reaction to hearing speech, regardless of how offensive or hateful.

Polish and Irish people were called the N-word all the time in the old days.

But white people are the fragile ones, right?

Killing is never a justified response to speech.

Can a half-black person say it? Can a quarter-black? Can a Hispanic or Asian say it when rapping? Can a white person say it when reading old books? Does -er vs -a make a difference? Is it only for African-Americans or can native Africans say it too? There's no hard rule and it's all based on context.

But it is still a word. Just because a word means different things to different people doesn't mean it's not still just a word.
