"He openly used racist language knowing that people watching his content could be extremely offended by his words and actions."

by opening a chat window for a second to chat with someone? here's a question why doesn't the capture show him typing the word in?

"He's apologized for using racist language and admitted he was in the wrong."

i thought context was important? didn't you just say that?

"It's racist."

he didn't discriminate against a black person... so how was this racist?

Wait, you said context is key.  If he was just saying it to a friend as a greeting, just like many black people do, and not in a derogatory way at a black person, that's also racist?  So, context doesn't matter?

What exactly is your argument?

My argument is that white people shouldn't be calling people that word.

Let's make this simple.

Do the pair of you think it's okay for a white person to call someone that word?

"Do the pair of you think it's okay for a white person"

why delineate is at "white person"? aren't you discriminating by race then?

is it ok in your estimation for a white person to tell a black person "fuck you"?

define for me what you understand racism to mean
