Society/Culture Hypocrisy of The Left - part 4

[Gethelred]

A few hours ago you couldn't fathom my opinion some on the left could be self interested and others could be altruistic and now this. LOL

'Fathom'?

I'm intrigued now.

To this point, I've been pretty polite when telling you your worldview is inconsistent. I don't know why you've decided mockery is an acceptable way to converse on here - especially after flooding this thread with a series of posts that could've seen you infracted for either spamming or potential racism - but you've certainly left yourself open.

Just because one asks questions doesn't mean one doesn't understand. I want to see how you reconcile those differences, but it's no skin off my nose if you choose to ignore my questions.

Just a reminder: this isn't the Bay.

The things you have tried to pick me up on have not been inconsistent though.

There we go, that's my answer: cognitive dissonance.

Left 'uses term rednecks'

Which race are "rednecks"?

 

[JoondalupJ]

I have missed reading your posts, JoondalupJ.

Thanks, just my opinion of course.

Which race are "rednecks"?

Caucasians.

Which race are browns or blacks?

 

[Chief]

Caucasians.

From Southern Russia?

Which race are browns or blacks?

You really want to get into this? I don't think you do.

I always thought 'redneck' was the U.S version of our bogan. A bogan isn't necessarily white. All the ethnicities in the show Housos were bogans, not just Shazza and Dazza. Frankie was a Maltese bogan. Hell, even Habib was a Lebanese bogan.

Ohmygod!

In the context used the user was referring to white Australians.

Red neck from being white and getting sunburnt.

All white Australians?

No. Whats that matter?

I'm just trying to figure out how it is racist. Where is the historical power imbalance between "the left" - whoever they are - and this subset of white Australians?

It is a derogatory word based on race.

There is no historical power imbalance between NZ Maoris for example and African Americans but I hazard a guess it wouldn't be smart for a NZ Maori to go on live TV and use the N word.

If that were the total definition of "racism", you'd be on the money.

It isn't.

That's your guess.

Can you provide a coherent definition of race that allows the term 'redneck' to be racially bigotted?
