Believe it or not, declaring a statement to be racist and not actually explaining what is racist about it doesn’t make it racist. I can declare anything you say as racist. That doesn’t make it so.

Why are you even here arguing if you do not know what racism is? Are you trying to redefine racism?

I’ll explain it for you. Now is your time to stop digging a deeper hole for yourself.

Those statements make sweeping generalizations about the African American community implying they are not diverse and lack varied perspectives.

There.

I am implying no such thing. American culture is quite diverse and, as I said, it’s based in American culture.

There are 33 Latin American countries, most of them with diverse cultures themselves.

It is just not possible for the Black community to be more diverse than the Latino community- unless you’re going to argue that those 33 countries all have the same culture.

Stop deflecting. His statements imply otherwise and you said he is correct.

Implying every black person in the US is African American is unironically racist lmao. You’re right thing is fun.

You keep using that word. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
