Its not racist if it's directed towards a group in power - white british cannot cry racism because they are the oppressors.

Yes the british are all powerfull people. I'm always amussed to the excuses that SJW and progressives use.

Two friends joking among them about their heritage, one is offensive the other aint.

Then the jokes against minorities aren't ok, unless they are done by someone from inside.

As you said I'm latino, I'm a minority, and didn't like what you said and I'm offended, so by your proposition of law you should be throw in jail.

Thanks. For an instant I wondered if I had genuinely done something awful since I actually do care about racism. It's just that people sometimes point to something that happened fifty years ago and which wasn't a thing here and suddenly treat me awful even though it's a first. 

Never mind what happened in the US though... Reap what you sow I guess... While I think it's a bad thing over there, I am not into repressing creative freedom for the sake of political correctness. Especially when the real culprits are long gone, so I still think even things such as blackface shouldn't automatically be classed racism unless there's a clear wish to denigrate or mock someone. 

My two cents.

Wait... that's it? It's a wonder Brits don't consider me score then, given I have a field day doing Cockney and Essex accents whenever I am in the UK... 

SJW will distort anything to make a point. Even when a false rape claim is made they won't scold the female, they will said it was possible that it would occur and she being a woman is at a constant risk.

So by that same logic should we also stop fighting against nazi symbolism being a publically accepted norm? Or The N word? Where is the line? As progressives we believe that line should be drawn as whatever offends minority people. Frankly it should be a law, not a "rule" so that we dont have to have these arguements anymore.

And we also should fight Socialism, Communism, Castro, Che Guevara and all other traces of prejudice right?

It doesnt apply to white-english cultures as they dont have real cultural histories.

And the others are the people with prejudice?

Sorry to tell you, but Vikings have culture, Celtics have culture, Roman, Greeks and all other people have culture.

 

A minority cant be legitimately offended over another group trying to protect their rights. Thats the same as gay people that vote republican even when those republicans try to ban same sex marriage etc. These people exist, but they arent the voice of their community. 

If you have offended a large enough, if not majority segment of a minority community then you're in the wrong.
