The Mario Kart analogy sadly doesn't work on any level possible. But anyways, I was highly upset by the last 8 years of Bush, sent the economy into a deficit, started the shit that was No Child Left behind which has ironically made US students even dumber, and I could go on forever but that doesn't give me the right to call somebody a cracker does it? Of course not. One bad apple spoils the bunch or so they say. 


You're part of the problem.  You're overgeneralizing.  

There are racist Trump supporters.  There are racist Clinton supporters.  There are racist Legend of Zelda fans.  There are racist Mario Kart fans.  But none of those imply that Trump, Clinton, Legend of Zelda, or Mario Kart is racist.  

I'm not saying all Trump supporters are racist...I don't think I ever actually said that. All I said was when some supporters think it's okay to say things like they've said and they're backed by a notoriously racist group, it raises questions. The game thing just isn't working man, it just doesn't work in this scenario. If somebody is racist and plays Mario Kart, they like Mario Kart and they happen to be racist. That's all I'm getting from this. How can a game be racist? It doesn't have feelings... the analogy simply doesn't work.
