Which is sad, 'cause in reality, it's not racism to be stupid - or to have low expectations of others.

That isn't what he said but rather how you chose to interpret it.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostNo, because I don't define racist as 'has preconceptions about people of another race'. I define it as 'being significantly negatively prejudiced against people of another race'. Literally complimenting someone - even really stupidly - isn't a negative pre-judgement. I will grant, that in context, it quickly could be - but no, as is, it's patronizing and stupid, not racist.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThat's wrong, because my argument with respect to Nixon and Reagan did refute the charge here of racism against Biden. I didn't accuse the claimants with hypocrisy, I showed them the difference between Bidens' non racist inarticulate remark and the actual and blatant racist remarks of Nixon and Reagan. I'm sure they can see the difference, they just can't bring themselves to admit to it."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."
