Default Re: Ron Paul\'s racist comments

Back to my concern about your definition of racist. If racism really just means "discrimination based on race," ....

Except if you look at my post, you'll clearly see the emphasis on "prejudice based on race" as pertaining to Paul's racist comments, not discrimination.

Although, aside from obvious prejudice, the comments also advocated discrimination on the basis of race as well, particulary the part about wishing to try youths as adults differently based only on race.

would you call a casting director for a film MLKJr a racist for discriminating in favor of black actors?

No, I wouldn't. Would you?

Because if you would, I'd find that rather odd that you consider that to be racist, and yet you consistenly defend your prophet's newsletters comments as NOT being racist. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
