Oh? Which ideology is inherently racist, then? (I know which one you'll say, but I'll need to see some scientific data to back that up, please. Haha, j/k! I'll settle for scientific data that hate crime laws - or, indeed, speech codes of any sort - have ever accomplished anything positive, ever.) You're REALLY reaching to make this stuff not to be exactly what it appears to be, though. A guy calls a woman a slut. "Well, he said 'talk slut'. That's totally different, somehow." And I really can't think of an uglier or more derisive term for a woman than "cunt", which basically reduces her to a sex organ. If that's not sexist, pretty much nothing is. Despite the fact that "coconut" is a very well known term and the fact that white leftists routinely call non-white non-leftists traitors to their race (a pretty racist concept in itself), I guess we should let Donny Douche slide, too. After all, every lefty deserves every benefit of the doubt since they don't subscribe to an "inherently racist" ideology. |
Well, I tried finding a study or something, but sadly I couldn't find anything. You're free to find a study that disproves it though. Here's an article talking about the psychological effects of hate crimes on targeted groups.

He didn't call her a "slut". He called her a "talk slut". He wasn't criticising her sexual conduct, which would be a sexist thing to do, he was pointing out her hypocrisy as a journalist for critcising Obama for something she praised Bush for. Would you say that calling a woman an "attention whore" is sexist too? I mean, it has the word "whore" in it after all, so it must be sexist going bu your logic (even though it has no relation to sexual conduct either). Maybe the word "cunt" is sexist, but by that definition so is callign someone a "dick". Ironically, I googled this term and found out it's considered by many to be the most offensive term in the English dictionary. This is quite funny, because finding this term so offensive (much more offensive than the term "dick", for example) is itself sexist, because it suggests that women's sexual organs are "dirtier" than everything else. Finding this term so offensive actually perpetuates the negative image that women have of their own sexual organs. Finally, what would you call a Jewish person who is also a Nazi?
